Our Sun workstations have Troff on them that create output suitable
for a C/A/T phototypesetter, and unfortunately we do not have any of
them.  ;-).  What we do have are HP LaserJet IIs.  My question, which
I'm sure has been hashed out before, is how do you make the Suns print
on the LaserJets.  I know that I can get a new version of Troff from
ELAN that will do the trick, but I was looking for a less expensive
solution.  (Aren't we all.  ;-) ) Since everyone else has heard this
answer 100 times before, please send me e-mail.  I would be happy to
summarize to the net if there is interest.  Thanks!

BTW: Even answers like, "Can't be done" would be helpful.  At least
that way I'll know to stop looking for the solution.
