How is the LaserWriter II connected to the "Sun network"? This problem
generally shows up with serial connected printers where the connection
can't carry 8-bit data or when the LaserWriter itself is configured for
7-bit data (the U and S's appear when the high bit is dropped).
The good news is that there is a shell script included with netatalk
that changes the printer to accept all 8 bits. Take a look at
netatalk-1.2/etc/papd/set8bit.sh. Run that at your printer and see
if it fixes the problem.
