Adobe is definitely insuring that downloaded fonts are used on only one
printing engine. We have a Allied Linotype 300 that when a board had to be
replaced we couldn't download fonts. We have to get Adobe to re-register the
font info. I guess it looks at serial numbers stored in ROM. I suppose it
would be pretty easy to find that particular ROM in the LaserWriter and burn
copies so you could use any one of several LaserWriters in a group. 

Anyway, you can print most things using bitmap screen fonts from the mac.
You lose looks but can proof final copy on the licensed printing engine.
