I finally bit the bullet and compiled up groff (and gcc and g++ and
bison and libg++).

I have successfully printed ez documents on my HP Laserjet IIP+ with
Pacific Datasystems PostScript.

BUT:

All the pages are shifted up an inch so no page numbers are visible.

The speculated-about formatcommand/PrintCommand in the FAQ to enable
previewing and printing didn't work.

The preview-free command set is the one that I got to work at all.
(Although my postscript filter is different so I don't use lpr -v.)

I have incorporated Nick Williams's changes to tmac.atk and the table of
contents prints perfectly.  It really is too bad that the page numbers
don't!

I am running ATK  5.0.0 from the R5 X tape on a Sun Sparc running
SunOS 4.1.1.  (I know, I should get the updates to Sun OS and ATK, but
I haven't taken the time to bring home the CD's and do the grunt work. 
These revs of the software SHOULD work.)

Help?
