Try SIMTEL20's MSDOS archives, namely directory PD1:<MSDOS.LASER>, where there
must be at least one such extracting program ("CTABLE.ARC"), along with any
info to retrieve them yourself in case you don't have the proper manual along
with the printer.

If this fails, I have an old Pascal program (Turbo's, version 3) that does just
that, as well as some c routines to play with fonts in several ways.
