We have been using the LASER package by Rick Watson of the Univ of Texas on
an Apple LaserWriter and a QMS something or other PostScript printer.

It is available via anonymous ftp from  "utadnx.cc.utexas.edu" as
laser_v2_02.bck_lzw.  Note you also need lzdcm.exe to decompress it.  It
(should) go without saying, transfer both files in binary mode.
