Absolutely right, so scratch my psroff idea. Here is exactly what AIX
3.1 troff supports, according to info:

                IBM 3812 Pageprinter II
                IBM 3816 Pageprinter
                Hewlett Packard LaserJet II with K cartridge
                
I couldn't find any mention of the PostScript requested in the
original post and have no idea of what the "K cartridge" is (special
fonts?).

Anyway, groff is supposed to be a full troff implementation with
PostScript output right?
