I recently rewrote qcat(8) (a troff driver for QMS laser printers) and
I am willing to mail copies via uucp to anybody who wants one (we are not
on the ARPAnet). My program, qmstroff(8), does essentially the same thing
as qcat but it is little bit smarter about downloading fonts, is compatible
with my TeX driver, qmstex(8), available from the University of Washington,
and is understandable (Sorry Ed, I thought the old code was garbage).
I have tested it under 4.1 and 4.2 on VAXen but I don't anticipate
any problems porting it to a new machine such as a Pyramid. It doesn't
print in landscape mode but that is only because we do not have the the fonts.
If you do have the landscape fonts feel free to hack it up to use them.
NOTE: If you don't already have qcat(8) this program will be useless
since it uses the same fonts. If you want to use this program you will have
to buy the qcat software and fonts.

Note to people using qmstex: An initial bug with the driver not properly
downloading to a QMS 800 has been fixed and the new version is available
from the University of Washington.
