Does anyone know of a UNIX troff filter that formats
for the HPLaserJet II?

Thanks.

At my former job we bought a couple of copies of xroff from Image Network.  They
advertise in the back of every Unix Today!.  Also, I believe that Elan has a 
product called eroff.  Sorry but I don't have addresses or phone numbers for either.

Elan's EROFF is the most widely used of the Troff packages.
It's major components include:
1. A much enhanced troff and preprocessors (pic, grap, tbl, eqn)
2. Driver for the HP LaserJet family of printers (up to
   and including the LaserJet III).
3. Driver for PostScript printers.

We have AT&T's troff and use a package called jetroff to convert ditroff
output to LaserJetII and LaserJetIII. Its avalailbe from many sites
under comp.sources.misc/volume5 etc.

It uses the TeX style fonts as standard but if your money will stretch
get HP's Times Roman (and Helvetica) Soft Fonts for it which are much
better.
