My understanding is that the PCL prsvr drivers were indeed released in
November.  They are sold as a layered product, called 'LaserJet PCL Printer
Interface' or some such.  

They support Laserjet II, IIP, IID, III, and IIID, in all three printing
environments: Aegis, UNIX BSD 4.3 and UNIX SYS 5.3.

Contact your sales person for more info.
