  If the printer will do postscript there are two troff to PostScript
programs, the PD "thack" (say t-hack) and the Adobe "pscat." pscat seems
to do a better job, but it costs (I think the site license for troff and
ditroff programs is about $1k). thack was on the net a week or so ago,
and is pretty decent.

  Of course if the printer is not PostScript you will have to go another
route. Elan software sells a xenix version of troff called EROFF, which
is ditroff and supports the LaserJet and/or a number of other printers.
