If it happens to be the case that printer is accessible from a machine
running 4D client you could pass the printing jobs to it easily. If you
don't already use it check out Register Client.

When registered any other client or the server can run methods on it. This
would eliminate the issues of attempting to print on the server.

The only downside is the need for that machine to be on and logged in.
