I'm confused ?? What are you running this on ? What version of nroff ??
I have some v7 nroff files that may simplify what you wnat to do.. but they
are very v7 specific!!....

also, if you are running some version of unix, I would like to see what you 
find... In general I think the approach is to chacnge the 
/usr/lib/tab/tabEPSON file to support what you need and then use
nroff -TEPSON



Thanks,
