What you need is the 'Publishing Systems PostScript Interpreter RT PC 
Edition' (5871-COM).  It has the microcode included in it.  All you 
need to do is put it in /usr/lib/pp4216, run:

	'ldps /usr/lib/pp4216/ppsadapt.mod', 

and set:

	 use_pp4216="yes"

in /etc/rc.config, so it'll get loaded when you re-boot.
The fonts should have come with the Postscript card package.
