After the search for the support of hp laser-jet on apollos, I could not
find a print spooler for it.  But I did find several pieces of unix
softwares to convert the troff/ditroff to hp format and TeX to hp 
filter.

All of the following are on the usenet comp.sources.unix archive,
the arpa site for it is j.cc.purdue.edu.

If you use anonymous ftp to get in, it's in news/comp/sources/unix.
See the "README" files online for further info.

List of the softwares:

Volume 3: LaserJet	(2 parts) Ditroff HP LaserJet driver
Volume 3: laserjet	BSD 4.2+ lpd printcap/spooler for LaserJet printer
Volume 3: lcat		Troff->laserjet filter package (uses vfont files)
Volume 3: lcat2		Troff->HP Laserjet filter - newfonts.c
Volume 6: lj_filter	Filter for HP Laserjet
Volume 6: texdvi2lj	(3 Parts) TeX DVI driver for LaserJet+
v06i013:  TeX DVI driver for LaserJet+ (texdvi2lj), Part1/3
v06i014:  TeX DVI driver for LaserJet+ (texdvi2lj), Part2/3
v06i015:  TeX DVI driver for LaserJet+ (texdvi2lj), Part3/3
v06i106:  Filter for HP Laserjet (lj_filter)

I'm still interested to get a version of the user-written printer spooler
for the hp-laserjet therefore we can use it to print out apollo bitmap
graphics.
