How about this one?  I use it and it seems quite acceptable...
mode_def HPLJ_IV =
proofing:=0;                   % no, we're not making proofs
fontmaking:=1;                 % yes, we are making a font
tracingtitles:=0;              % no, don't show titles at all
pixels_per_inch:=600;          % Good but not perfect
blacker:=0;                    % Seems black enough. Lighter than 300dpi
fillin:=0;                     % but it ought to be.  Closer to true
o_correction:=0;               % Modern proportions.  Real problem is
enddef;                        % toner irregularity
