Solaris 10 and blank page with lp

Probably is possible to solving using cups,but I want to try the classical unix printing system.
I have setup a fake printer with cups-pdf,clients like Windows server,Linux and Solaris11 works ok.
On solaris 10 I get only blank pages,I have used this syntax



Code:
lpadmin -p Cups_pdf -s 192.168.0.2:515 -E -n  /usr/local/lib/lp/model/ppd/CUPS-PDF.ppd -I postscript
lpadmin -d Cups_pdf
accept Cups_pdf
lpstat -t

I have also tried the generic pppd.gz

Code:
lpadmin -p Cups_pdf -s 192.168.0.2:515 -E - n /usr/lib/lp/model/ppd/system/foomatic/Generic/Generic-PostScript_Printer-Postscript.ppd.gz -I postscript
lpadmin -d Cups_pdf
accept Cups_pdf
lpstat -t

But print only blank pages.
