>lpr -l -Pmyprinter myfile

  lp -d myprinter myfile

I can't find any direct equivalent to lpr's -l argument, but if
the Solaris print system is properly configured for the printer,
you don't need it.

If you want to explicitly tell the print system that the file is
postscript, then you would use:

  lp -d myprinter -T postscript myfile

But the Solaris 2.x print system will automatically detect a Postscript
file and perform any necessary filtering - as long as it's been configured
properly for the printer.

What type of printer is this, and how is it connected to the Solaris machine?
Does it support Postscript?  Are you running any special software to manage
the printer (such as HP's Jetadmin)?

I've seen a post in this group that said their NT server was sending
a Ctrl-D to the printer before the print job, and that would prevent
the HP printer from recognizing the '%!' start of the Postscript code.
Maybe that's what was happening to you.
