if the printer is network-enabled --- through it's own internal print server or an external print server --- and on your network already, setup the printer as a network printer ... see "man lpadmin" and "man printers.conf"
if the printer is physically attached to your pc, you can use your pc as the print server as long as you share the printer out. on the solaris box, same setup as above.
if you really, really, really want to use the pcnfs-/var/spool/lp method --- you will have to write a windows batch file to look at the directory and print out the contents in it regularly ... then remove the contents that were successfully printed ... you probably need the batch file to run through a self-rescheduling at job ... make sure you have enough rights on /var/spool/lp to be able to remove the obsolete print jobs ...
