There is already Geos printer driver for the HP Laserjet. As matter of fact
this printer driver comes (along with many otherss) inside the Geos 2.0
package (there also many Epson drives too).
Since the Laserjet driver comes with the Geos 2.0, you could also ask directly
to Berkeley Softworks about usage of Geos with the Laserjet printer, and
how to hook it up to the C64......   good luck.
