I have just been given an IBM LaserPrinter (model 4019) for evaluation
purposes.  This fine little machine operates in 3 modes -- IBM ASCII,
HP Emulation, and Plotter Emulation.  What I am looking for, is some
sort of conversion program so that I might get some "nifty" graphics
output from this box.  
  I am looking for programs which will convert output to LaserJet mode.
Preferably dvi-to-lj and/or troff-to-lj.  Actually anything I could
use to get high quality output on this printer would be appreciated.
(I really wish the postscript add-on feature was available and installed
on this thing.)   

BTW, this printer is hooked up to a lab full of IBM RTs running AIX
2.2.1.

Thanks in advance for any pointers you might have.
