Is anyone aware of any public domain (free) drivers (ditroff back-end
filters such as dlgp for the Sybolics Laser Graphics printer) for the
HP laserjet+ and/or the Dec LN03?  We are thinking about buying one of
these machines, and a free driver would be a big consideration since we
have a heavy committment to the documentor's workbench & ditroff.

If there aren't any currently available, is anyone out there working
on one for either machine?  I've been reading laser lovers since
about last January or so and I've seen no mention so far...

Failing that, are there any commercial ones available?  What experiences
have people had with them?  The only ones I know of are Image Network's
qroff (etc.) for the LN03 and Textware's Tplus & Elan's driver for the
HP laserjet (it isn't clear to me if Textware and Elan have drivers
for the laserjetplus or just the laserjet).
