It may be easier to find a package to plot to HPGL plotters such as 
the HP-7475A.  HPGL file can then be interpreted by programs such
as WordPerfect, etc. for printing to the LaserJEt.

Also, available from HP is software or cartridge to give super HPGL
compatibility to your LaserJet compatible printer.

HPGL is very simple to use -- you may be able to write the routines youself.
