I have compiled a 300 line summary of both commercial & public domain
alternatives to buying Transcript from Sun in order to use a PostScript
printer. There are references to anonymous ftp access to hoardes of
available filters. Its too long to post here, but it was posted to
sun-spots-digest & issued Friday March 23 as Volume 9 : Issue 91.
sun-spots-digest is also echoed in comp.sys.sun.
I have also made it available via anonymous ftp on umree.ee.umr.edu
[131.151.4.1] in subdirectory pub as transcript.alt
A summary of the summary is that it can be done for free (see the Long
summary for details :-) ), or an attractive commercial alternative is to
get a site source license for Transcript from Adobe for only $2950.
Hope you find this helpful,

p.s. This was motivated by the 45% University discount we get from HP, making
a LaserJet IIP with an Adobe PostScript cartridge & 3 MB of memory only $1749 -
less than the cost of Transcript!. The LaserJet III is only another $495(disc).
