What version of netatalk are you running? 1.3b2 has an initial pass at
support for the 8.x LaserWriter drivers, but it has problems handling
some documents. The 1.3 release, which we hope to make very soon, should
be 100% compatible with the 8.x drivers.

I am not familiar with the CAP lwsrv change, but at one point we had a
problem in the papd "font query" handling that required an extra
newline as a workaround. The bug turned out to be elsewhere, and we
have since removed the extra newline.
