We are trying to use the HP LaserJet as a printer-replacement
(quiet and excellant quality).  But it appears that this can't
be done simply by unplugging the impact printer and plugging in
the LaserJet.  If for no other reason that it only allows
printing on 60 lines rather than 66 ...  and those spacing
line-feeds that most spoolers supply and nroff always adds count
as lines.  Thus we are faced with writing a mid processor that
handles (eats) the spacing lines or changing all our nroff stuff
to know about 66 and 60 lines ...  some thing we don't really
want to do.

Does anyone have any other approaches that we havn't seen?  tia.
