An LJ3 is not a c/a/t. What you need is software to convert the output
in the format required for the cat device to output for the LJ3 device.
They are totally different, the c/a/t is a 2000 dpi (from memory) output
device to film. The LJ3 is very nice for a low resolution printer, but
it doesn't take the c/a/t commands (or produce production quality
output).
I think jetroff does this, I know you can use the ELAN Eroff package
and get great results doing this.
