[comp.text] Postscript on my HP? Easy?

Here's the problem...  I have an office full of HP LaserJets, but I am
need of printing Postscript files...  What to do?  So there are a few
directions I could take:

 1) Buy a Postscript printer....  (not very desireable, too
    expensive!)

 2) Buy a QMS card that plugs into your AT and turns your HP into a 
    Postscript printer...  (not useful, I have to connect this thing
    to a serial port hanging off my Sun-3)

 3) Software Solutions anybody?  This is the most desirable, but I
    have no idea about how to do this?  Is this feasible?

Any responses are deeply appreciated!

I think that QMS makes a card to replace the CPU in the LaserJet
(and +) that makes it into a PostScript printer.  Of course, then
you don't have a LaserJet any longer - just a box that says
LaserJet.
