We are interested in keeping our laser printing costs/matience down.  Does
any one know of a public domain TeX driver for a low cost matrix printer
(like Epson LQ-50) primarily for previewing TeX documents?

We use TeX in a vax-unix enviornment.

Another related question is: 
  Are the dvi files the same for TeX under unix as for the versions for micros?
  If so we could move the dvi files to a micro and print from there.
 
Thanks in advance for any pointers.

We will soon be cut off from ihnp4 but you can get to us thru
