Sorry for the repost! I posted a similar message a few days ago and got two
interesting replies, which I lost due to some strange behaviour of our
mail system that I wasn't aware of -- Please re-mail me!

Does someone have a dvi driver for the HP Deskjet printer? I have an IBM
RT PC running AIX 2.1.2, but anything in source form (C, web, pascal or
even Fortran) will do. I am willing to hack around a bit to make it work.

As I cannot print anything from TeX, I don't know the format of dvi and 
font files, so I really need help. I could probably hack something together
from my dvi previewer, but that would take an awful lot of time and it would
probably be really inefficient.

Unfortunately, I do not have FTP access. The best thing for me would be
if you could email the sources directly to me. The second best thing would
be if I could buy an IBM-readable diskette for a reasonable price (I can
read MS-DOS formatted diskettes, but I would prefer to have the source
for some UNIX version of the program...)

Please send me a note if you know where to get it or if you are willing to
mail the sources to me. I will try go get it from the nearest (=cheapest)
place.

Thanks in advance!
