HP LaserJet III on an Ultrix 3.0 system

I am trying to get a LaserJet III to work on an Ultrix system.  I have
a script which, before outputting the file,  does a:

	stty 9600 cs7 -cstopb -pass8 -parenb

Which should (theoretically) set the line to no parity, 7 bits, 1 stop bit.
There seems to be some parity problem though, and many characters are
being converted to (the character | 0x80) -- That is, the high order
bit is being turned on as if some kind of output parity is being done.
So my question -- How do i get Ultrix to turn off this output parity?
