Dear DI-TROFF user,

I have DI-TROFF running (almost correctly) on our VAX/VMS system.
We are for the time being using an AGFA P-400 LED-printer.
There are certain problems with that printer in setting mathematical
equations, and we are therefore searching for small laserprinters to
supplement it.
My problem is in finding out which device-drivers exist for TROFF on 
the wealth of laserprinters that are being offered.
I know of drivers for AGFA and for the Canon printers.

Question:
Can you tell me of the existence of TROFF drivers for ANY little laserprinter ?
Can I somehow obtain the source code of the driver ?
To list some printers that I have come across so far:
HP Laserjet (and ditto PLUS)
Xerox 4045
DEC LN03
Canon
Kyocera F-1010 (emulates HP+..)
and some matrix printers:
NDK printstar 5025
Printronix

Another question:
Do you know of any other installation of DI-TROFF on a VAX running VMS ?
I'd love to exchange experiences !

With best regards,
Ole H. Nielsen (ohnielsen@nbivax.uucp)
Nordic Institute of Theoretical Physics, Copenhagen.
