Mine does this on occasion too, but only on the first line of a print
job.  Unfortunately, that line is usually where my name goes (in a
letterhead, or on a term paper)!

This I can help with.  Apple built in this feature for service technicians:
if you turn on the Imagewriter II WHILE holding down the "select" button, all
the text that goes to the printer will be printed in hex code.  Unfortunately
for the end-user, the select button is so close to the on/off switch that
it's incredibly easy to trigger this hidden feature without knowing it.

Hope this helps.
