I have a similiar problem with old GammaFax cards. It's more insidious, though,
as the faxes are sent without signalling errors - but with blank pages.

I did notice one thing, though:
8.70 output: 
Tag 282 (011a: X Resolution), RATIONAL × 1, 204/1 (000000cc/00000001)
Tag 283 (011b: Y Resolution), RATIONAL × 1, 98/1 (00000062/00000001)

8.71 output:
Tag 282 (011a: X Resolution), RATIONAL × 1, 427819008/2097152
(19800000/00200000)
Tag 283 (011b: Y Resolution), RATIONAL × 1, 1644167168/16777216
(62000000/01000000)

My first assumption was that these insane fractions were a byte order problem
affecting Intel implementations, but the X resolution clearly has the right
byte order within the word even though the word order is wrong.

So I changed the resolutions to more sensible fractions using a hex editor.
Still blank pages.
