Article <1991Mar31.135927.22114@ericsson.se> of comp.lang.postscript contains
a list of 20 programs for printing text files, some free, some commercial.

Neither "Lila" nor lptops are on that list.  I am currently using lpscript,
a freebie with the tpscript troff-to-ps package, and haven't had a chance
to pick and try any others.
