:I think he wants a troff output to go to a laser printer. Unfortunately,
:most versions of troff are specific to a CAT phototypesetter. I forget where
:we got it, but there's something out there called "psroff" (and a host of
:other assorted utilities) which will make things come out real nice on a
:laser printer.
The hard part is you need "ditroff". After that, you can use any of
several conversion utils to go from device independent troff to
postscript. I tried psroff, but after it kept dumping core, I switched to
tpscript and have been happy ever since.

I get so tired of utilities with arbitrary, undocumented,
compiled-in limits. Don't you?
