In which case, take a look at GhostScript.  It has drivers for various
displays/printers.  The rendering is fast, but the size of the file produced
for an HPLJ printer may make the actual printing slow (though performance
improves by using a parallel connection rather than serial).

You can get the latest version (2.1.1) from prep.ai.mit.edu in the pub/gnu
directory.  You'll want to pick up the files ghostscript-2.1.1.tar.Z and
ghostscript-2.1fonts.tar.Z.
