I have b) Ghostscript 2.1.1 from prep.ai.mit.edu ./pub/gnu/ghostscript*
With b) I can display and print from HP laserjet [without an emulator
cartridge]. All of the sources are there, one just needs to compile.
I uses Ghostscript on msdos machine.

The problem is resolution is not very good. I don't know what the problem is.
Maybe the font. Is there a solution?

I don't know Goscript, is this PD? and what advantage does it have over
ghostscript.
