The commercial product Hijaak from Inset systems will convert HP PCL
(The native language for a LaserJet) to  PostScript.

BUT

It really only supports the PCL graphics stuff. It fails on font stuff.
For example I cannot take a WordPerfect laserjet page file and translate
it into PostScript. If I take something like a Lotus graph I could though.

It is especially hard to translate fonts (Laserjet) into PostScript.
