The drawing tools in Pagestream 1.8 are very good. After you're done,
you simply load the printer driver you want from Pagestream's wide
selection of output modules, which includes the HP Laserjet and Postscript.
I have both the HP Deskjet and the Paintjet, and the output quality on both
is excellent. 

If you want to merge these drawings into troff documents, I suggest you
convert your troff output to postscript first, with a postscript
post-processor. Then merge the postscript generated from Pagestream into it.
