Yes, there is a freely available troff PostScript driver. I wrote it
over a year ago and posted it to net.sources. However, since then
I have moved to the private sector and the company I work for sells
a much better version (download fonts and all sorts of other goodies).
You can probably get a copy of the original version from somewhere
close by. I know that it is in use in the US, Norway, Germany and Japan,
so it shouldn't be too hard.

Incidentally, the new version sells for A$1K  (US$800) and has features that
most other commercial versions lack, including Transcript (like memory
management - it will print an unlimited no. of downloaded fonts on a page).
