The 3b1 comes with some dvi drivers for various dot-matrix printers,
and groff has a post-processor which produces dvi output. Should work, but
I haven't tested it, since I have a HP Laserjet with a PacificPage
Postscript cartridge,

There are replacement macro packages supplied with groff 1.0. They
are: man, me mgs (ms replacement), as well a several macro packages for use
with special cases (pic, dvi, postscript, tty output). I just linked the
tmac.gs file to tmac.s, to allow me to use the -ms command line option. At
least the tmac.gs package contains warnings not to use it with normal
troff/nroff. For the other packages, you can use the -C mode (backward
compatablility), if you don't need any of the extra features groff offers.
Good Luck
DoN.
