I'm trying to use the latest version of Ghostscript to print
to my HP IIIP. The best output so far has been using the
	-sDEVICE=ljetplus
switch. Even in this case, it is rare to get a single page
error free. For example, printing the output from
	prfont.ps
with just the Times-Roman font specified produces 3/4 of a
page that is acceptable, then there are lines that are cut
off and garbled. This is followed by several blank pages,
then a garbled second page of output. Frequently the garbled
pages have non-graphics (native HP Courier font?)
characters.

All the sample .ps files (and others) preview on-screen
corrrectly.

If anyone has a screen previewer for HP-PCL language
graphics files, I'd like to check whether the problem is on
the printer side or the file produced by Ghostscript is
corrupt.

Enivronment/Hardware:
	486-33 8MB RAM
	HP LJ IIIP, 3MB
	VGA Monitor
	MS-DOS 5.0
	MKS Toolkit

My hope is to get Ghostscript working smoothly with groff so
that I can troff==>HPLJ on my pc. If anyone has this
combination working, or has ported psroff to DOS, please let
me know.
