Boy, you could be in for a tough time here, especially if you're looking for
a graphics convertor.  The LJ uses true raster graphics, where it does one
row of dots at a time.  The Epson FX, on the other hand, uses column graphics,
where it does a column of 8 dots at one time.  In addition, the LJ can 
accomodate data compression routines.

Your third-best bet is to somehow output the data to the display, and then 
use a "snapshot" utility to capture the display.  Your second-best bet is
to find a copy shop with a computer and LJ, and print it out there.  Your
best bet is to find a professor or department secretary with PC and LJ who
will print it for you, or let you do it for free.

But writing a conversion  utility would definitely be the hard way to do it.
Sorry to discourage you, but that's the way it is.

Good luck,
