I recently got jetroff from PC Research.  The initial version
is shareware, the current version is $100 for commercial users,
$50 for individuals.  It comes with source and is a nice package.
It is specifically designed for the LJ2 although I have run it
with both a DeskJet and a Panasonic LJ+ compatible.  

It is well worth the price and produces really decent output.
It can also be used with additional softfonts that are available but
comes with support of the standard stuff (Roman and Helvetica).
Although is is recommended that you have DWB 2.0 I am using it
with Microport DWB 1.0 and it works almost fine (where almost
is easily tracable to Microport bugs).

Don't have the address with me but uunet!pcrat!rick will get
you the right person.
