Try the SYSTEM 6.0 (not System 6.0.1) LaserWriter driver and
print to it using 9600 parity ignored.  Make sure to select the
LaserWriter driver from the DC Printer control panel and make
sure the printer port is set to 9600.  Good luck!

The System 6.0.1 LaserWriter driver has compatibility problems
with non-LaserWriter PostScript printers.
