Help with configuring printer on Sun Solaris

I have tried and tried again, to get an HP 4700dn laserjet printer to work on a GI Sun Solaris BOX. I have gone through and added the Printer server and IP to the Host file in the /etc folder and also added the printer ip and printer name itself. when I go to print something the printer shows up in the drop down menu. I can also ping the printer all day. the issue is when I do go to Print something, its not what I wanted printed. Not to mention it takes about 2 minutes for it to print what i did not want. the only thing I get is something like this:
Host: tais012svr
Class: tais012svr
Job: Java Printing

that is all that prints. it is quite frustrating and i have looked everywhere I even have used lpadmin and entered this:

lpadmin -p (Printername) -s (printername)

i am at odds ends here. can anyone help?

-i /usr/lib/lp/model/standard_foomatic -o banner=never -o stty="-opost" -I postscript -u allow:all

Code:
