  I have 8 MB in a UNIX PC. Is it un-reasonable to assume that there
must a program available that takes Postscript files and translates them 
into a form that a standard HP LaserJet can manage to print?

  Assuming that the HP can print 8 megabits at 300x300 resolution, and 
that Postscript can be mapped to a bit-display or printer.....

  Sure would beat the price of a PostScript printer. We have dozens of
386 systems that just aren't very busy. I'd love to make one or two of
them Postscript --> HPGL engines.
