this seems like a mis configured print filter on your sun machine.
what you need to do instead is configure your solaris machine to
be its own print server for the printer, so the solaris interface script will send the right format to the printer
Do the following:

lpadmin -x printer_name
lpadmin -p printer_name -v /dev/null -m netstandard
lpadmin -p printer_name -T unknown -I any
lpadmin -p printer_name -o protocol=tcp -o dest=printer_ipaddres:9100
/usr/bin/enable printer_name
/usr/sbin/accept printer_name

Note:
printer_name will be the name of your printer while printer_ipaddress is the ip address of your printer.

lpc

lpc(8)								    Apple Inc.								    lpc(8)

NAME

       lpc - line printer control program

SYNOPSIS

       lpc [ command [ parameter(s) ] ]

DESCRIPTION

       lpc provides limited control over printer and class queues provided by CUPS. It can also be used to query the state of queues.

       If no command is specified on the command-line, lpc displays a prompt and accepts commands from the standard input.

   COMMANDS
       The lpc program accepts a subset of commands accepted by the Berkeley lpc program of the same name:

       exit Exits the command interpreter.

       help [command]

       ? [command]
	    Displays a short help message.

       quit Exits the command interpreter.

       status [queue]
	    Displays the status of one or more printer or class queues.

NOTES

       Since  lpc  is  geared  towards	the Berkeley printing system, it is impossible to use lpc to configure printer or class queues provided by
       CUPS.  To configure printer or class queues you must use the lpadmin(8) command or another CUPS-compatible client with that functionality.
