Dvi2ps is program the translates DVI files to PostScript (PostScript is a
trademark of Adobe Systems, Inc).  When the output of dvi2ps is preceded by
about 2 pages of PostScript code, TeX output can be printed on PostScript
devices (such as an Apple LaserWriter).

It uses the TeX-compatible set of 300 dpi fonts, and downloads the bitmap
description of each character, once, as it is needed, for every job (i.e., 
resident fonts  are not used).  While this sounds expensive, it is not too 
bad.  After the conversion to PostScript is done, and considering "normal 
documents" and 9600 baud communication, the first page can take a minute or 
so to transmit and print.  Thereafter, pages are usually printed faster.
Simple documents of 20 & 30 pages have printed at an overall average of
3.2 pages/minute (it is unlikely that you will ever get substantially 
higher than this with the program as it currently stands).  More typical
rates will be 2.5 pages/min.  Conversion time is extra, of course, but
does not seem to be excessive.
