There is a commercial product from Pipeline Associates called 
devap, which takes postscript files from a Mac and formats them for 
troff.  This is an announced product but may not be shipping as yet.

Pipeline Associates: P.O. Box 5763, Parsippany, NJ 07054.

The Mac is capable of producing postscript files from the laserwriter 
driver by using the following procedure:
	In the print dialog box,
		Click OK
		Hold CLOVER F down until (^F)
		Creating Postscript File message appears

This may be documented somewhere, but I haven't seen it.
