hp2pbm converts all of PCL4 to PBMs, and the included pbm2ps will
generate the appropriate PostScript rasters.  It's slow, but
theoretically dot-per-dot identical.  A parallel port (or faster)
to your PostScript printer is essential to have this fast enough
to be useable.

hp2pbm and its two patches are in comp.sources.misc archives.
