You might try Image Network in Mt. View CA 415-967-0542
They have a product called XROFF.  This will work with many  different 
laser printers including the HP IIIP.  I have used it for years
outputing to a DEC LN03 (I am using the Unix version).  They have
versions that will work with DOS also.  Uses downloadable fonts and
comes with the mm ms and me macro sets.  Also includes pic, tbl, and 
eqn, plus documentation. 

This is not PD software, but is reasonable.
