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.

Fairly simple question, I think. Still trying to get my head around AIX print queues. Most of our problems seem to stem from print queues going down. This generates help-desk calls when users call up to get their queues started or to get rid of the emails that qdaemon sends them.

GSinterface(1) General Commands Manual GSinterface(1)
NAME
GSinterface - LP interface script for using ghostscript under lpsched
SYNOPSIS
GSinterface [request-id] [user] [title] [copies] [options] [files]
DESCRIPTION
This shell script is intended to be uses as an LP interface script on Solaris 2.6 and later systems. It allows print queues to be config-
ured under LP using Ghostscript to render for the printer.
Configuration under lpsched is performed via the lpadmin(1M) command.
# lpadmin -p printer -v /dev/... -I"postscript,pdf" -Tunknown
-i /usr/sfw/share/ghostscript/interfaces/GSinterface
-o GS_DEVICE=(gs-device-type)
[-o OutputFile=(file/device)] [-o PAPERSIZE=(size)]
[-o RESOLUTION=XxY] [-o banner-type=(ascii|postscript)]
[-o GS_OPTIONS="-sIjsServer=... -sIjsParams=..."]
Valid values for the GS_DEVICE setting can be obtained from Ghostscript by running: "gs -h". This will dump a variety of information about
Ghostscript's usage and compile time configuration. The "Available devices:" section lists the formats that Ghostscript will render to.
You will need to match one of these formats to the format that your printer takes as input.
EXAMPLES
To configure a Canon Bublejet 800c (NeWSprinter CL+) printer connected to an ECP parallel port:
# lpadmin -p printer -v /dev/ecpp0 -I"postscript,pdf" -Tunknown
-i /usr/sfw/share/ghostscript/interfaces/GSinterface
-o GS_DEVICE=bjc800
# accept printer
# enable printer
To configure an HP DeskJet 990 printer connected via a USB interface using IJS support:
# lpadmin -p printer -v /dev/usb/lp1 -I"postscript,pdf" -Tunknown
-i /usr/sfw/share/ghostscript/interfaces/GSinterface
-o GS_DEVICE=ijs
-o GS_OPTIONS="-sIjsServer=hpijs -sDeviceManufacturer=HEWLETT-PACKARD -sDeviceModel='DESKJET 990' -DIjsUseOutputFD"
# accept printer
# enable printer
