Andy is correct.
The reason being of course that LaserWriters by default only accept 7 bit
connections. One used to be able to use the LaserWriter Utility to change
to 8 bit connections. Don't know where it's got to nowadays.
But the easiest way to solve the problem is to change the encoding to
ASCII. It's in the Print dialog of Photoshop so should be the same in
PageMaker.
