You might try psroff available from uunet.uu.net.

Normal UNIX troff only prints its output on WANG C/A/T Phototypesetters.
This package contains a generic interface between standard troff and
other types of printers.  The package has a driver for PostScript printers
(Eg: Apple Laserwriters), a partial implementation of a driver for HP 
Laserjet family printers, and a Ditroff output option.  

In fact, this package can be used to, in effect, upgrade CAT troff
to be ditroff.  There are limitations, but you get what you pay for.
