GoScript has been advertised in most the PC magazines over the past
few months. I don't know if it is available from computer stores or if
you need to directly contact the company. However it does need extra memory
than is standard with the HP Laserjet, I think it needs either 1 or 1.5 MB.

There was a review this past month in either PC Magazine or possibly in
PC Week which covered GoScript and a few competitors which are also available.
They are all supposed to work pretty well, but they are very slow. You
might also consider that a font cartridge is now available for the Laserjet
II which is a postscript driver. I think it is from Pacific Data Cartridges.
and costs about $600-700. 

Have not tried either of the above myself. Just bought a real postscript
printer instead. It does work fine.
