Yes!  It is called EROFF.  It is just like using Troff. You can do
pic, eqn,tbl, mm, mv,grap, and it can even read and use Bit-mapped
raster images!

It is quite good and quite complete.  I use it with a PC and a HP LaserJet
Series II and have had no problem with it yet.

I think EROFF can come either as a ditroff or a ditroff/LaserJet package.
