Thanks to all the people who suggested different sources for a HP DeskJet
DVI driver. 

 1. Somebody suggested the LaserJet driver dvilj, written by Gustaf Neumann,
    was also suitable for use with a DeskJet. It wasn't. That must have been
    a rumour in the Dutch TeX community.

 2. I compiled the driver from Beebe's driver family, using the modifications by
    Paul Kirkaas. Some changes were necessary because we use Turbo C instead
    of Microsoft C, which was originally used to compile the source.
    Alas, it needs 1MB RAM, which I don't have.

 3. Finally, a few people suggested the driver dvihplj from the emTeX
    distribution. I ftp'd it from directory ~/msdos/text-mgmt/TeX/emtex/disk3
    on terminator.cc.umich.edu and it works just fine. Executables and 
    adequate documentation are provided in ZIP files.
