There is a company called LaserGo, Inc. in San Diego who sell a PostScript
language interpreter for IBM PCs.  This software is advertised as allowing
you to print PostScript files on almost* any printer.

*Includes Drivers for: NEC Pinwriter; HP LaserJet, DeskJet, PaintJet;
Canon LBP-811, BubbleJet BJ130; Epson LQ and FX; Toshiba 24-Pin; Fujitsu DL
24-Pin; Panasonic KX 24-Pin; IBM ProPrinter, Quickwriter, Quietwriter.

The software costs $195.00 with 13 fonts and $395.00 with 35 fonts.  The
number to order is 800-451-0088 (outside Calif.) and the number for
information is 619-530-2400.

We will probably be purchasing this software but we have not yet done so.
I have no idea how well it works (or doesn't work) but it sounds like it
might be what so many people seem to be looking for.
