I'm looking for a Unix-TeX driver for an HP laser printer.  If anyone has
one, or knows where we can get one (free or moderately priced) PLEASE let
me know.  We're using JLASER with PCTeX and aren't thrilled with it's speed,
or lack thereof.

Tall Tree (the people that put out JLASER) have the beginnings of a decent
product.  Unfortunately, it  doesn't work with a clock speed over 5 mHz, 
and we also had to add some capacitors to the JRAM board to get it to work
at all.  There's still something wrong with it, (dvijla crashes regularly),
and Tall Tree's support leaves a lot to be desired!  

Of course, Tall Tree never made any claims about running at a clock speed
over 4.77 MHz, so I can't fault them there.  We just assumed...
(I know...I know...:-)
