If you read the license Adobe gives out, you are licensed to use the fonts with  
1 printer/typesetter.

Thus if you have 20 nextstations and two printers, you need to buy two legal  
copies of any font you wish to use on both printers.

If you have a mac with Aardvark Extra Black on it, and you only print to the  
Next printer, then I think you are in the limits of the license to convert the  
fonts for the Next.  

If however, you have a Mac printer, then you need a new copy, and may as well  
get them in Next format already.

NOTE:  I am NOT a lawyer.  These opinions are just possibly worth less than you  
paid for them.
