Yes there are probably several, the one we use is called DVIJEP and is
part of a family of DVI drivers by Nelson Beebe.  It is available for
anonymous ftp from science.utah.edu (a TOPS-20 (36-bit) host, so be
careful when transferring binary files).  We use version 2.06 from
1987 for the LaserJet Plus, but it works great with the LaserJet II,
too.  (At least I don't remember having had to make any changes to
it.)  For some reason this driver doesn't seem to be very well known,
questions like yours pop up ever so often.
