- Yes - pick up a copy of the GNU GhostScript package. Among many other goodies,
- it includes a driver that will allow you to print to HP LaserJets, and produces
- acceptable output (the fonts don't look quite as nice as real PS, but I think
- that is intentional to avoid violating copyrights).
-
- Also neat is a tool to interpret and display PS files under X, which saves
- alot of paper while you're proofing a document.
-
- Where to get it? I can't say, but it is assuredly on an internet machine
- out there somewhere via anonFTP.
