  Assuming that by line printer you mean dot matrix, I can recoomend
GOSCRIPT. It works quite well, even with graphics on the page, different
fonts, etc. I'm afraid I cannot tell you where to get the program,

  Also, Ghostscript (from the GNU group, I think) has been made
available to MSDOS users. Again, no source known (other than the trickle
servers).
