Ghostscript from the FSF people does EXACTLY what you want.  I know - I
use it!

Get it from prep.ai.mit.edu.  You'll need both the program AND the
fonts.  Version 2.1.1 is what I have but version 2.2 is supposed to be
released momentarily.  Use the Canon Bubblejet BJ10e driver if YOUR LQ
supports 360 X 360 DPI, hack it slightly (I can send you the diffs if
you need them) if, like mine, your LQ-clone only supports 180 X 180 DPI.

Good luck!
