I'm running C-TeX with a dvi->LaserJet and X11 previewers here. Xdvi for X10R4
seems to have byte-order dependencies, but the X11 xdvi works fine. I also had
summer students working on the texx previewer by Dirk Grunwald to make it 
faster, and it's quite acceptable now. The dvips converter from Tom Rokicki
also works fine. Also, there are patches  for xpr to work with a LJII.
All this runs on HP 9000's 300 and 800es.

That did'nt come out of the box, though. A good starting point is the 
Unix TeX distribution tape from Pierre McKay (mackay@june.cs.washington.edu).
I'd be willing to post the dvilj converter and the texx patches, if there's 
demand.
