	I was wondering if someone out there has figured out how to invoke
troff on a sun386i (SunOS 4.0.1) to print a document on an HP Laserjet II.
Over and above the regular -me macro package nroff functionality, I'd like 
to try to use bolding and italics command requests.  It appears that, in
order to be able to use troff -t | lpr -t, a troff binary lpr filter is 
required.  Is this part of the standard unix distribution, or is there one
out there in the public domain?   Or, should I be using troff -a (I did
try this without much success)?

	Thanks (wishful thinking)
	Regards,
