If you can't find a driver for the DeskJet, you can always obtain
JetRoff (from uunet!pcrat!jetroff), which is a LJ driver with full
source, and modify it to drive the DJ.

The author of Jetroff, Rick Richardson, has already stated that he
doesn't think the DJ is suitable for typesetting, so he probably won't
support it, but it probably is the closest you'll find out there.

An early version of JetRoff was posted to c.s.m. a few months ago;
to get the latest version you'll have to register and pay $50 for
individual license, $100 for commercial license.
