Nroff is a fixed spaced printer support program.  It is for things like
daisy wheel letter quality printers.  PostScript is a proportional spaced
type printer (fixed spaced Courier is included), but since that isn't the
main appeal, PostScript support is mostly for troff type programs.

Adobe makes a package called Transcript that has troff and ditroff support
for PostScript printers.  Give them a call.

Good luck.
