Several people recommended installing the BSD-style lpd system. We
did consider this option but decided to bite the bullet and figure out
how to do it the "Solaris"-way.
For anyone interested in this approach, however:

Other respondents directed me to cap/applications/papif/add_at_printer.
Having worked with a much older version of CAP, I hadn't even thought
to look for something in the CAP distro that would do most of the work
for me! add_at_printer is this beast.
The most complete answer, which included the add_at_printer script and
a script to do most of the work :-), came from James Hsieh (see
below). In addition to the files furnished by James, it is also
necessary to update the cap.printers by hand (to map the UNIX printer
name to an AppleTalk printer name) -- this could be integrated into
add_at_printer.
Also, it is worth mentioning that, although the printing with
CAP+Solaris does work, it does not work identically to printing with
CAP+SunOS. It may be my still basic understanding of Solaris
printing, but it seems a lot harder to debug printing problems under
Solaris. For example, under SunOS, you can get a pretty good idea of
what's going on with a printer by looking at /var/spool/lpd/foo/errsa*
and /var/spool/lpd/foo/errlog. Under Solaris, the usual helpful error
messages ("AppleTalk printer foo not found" and the like) did not
appear (at least not in /etc/lp/logs). Further, checking the status
of a print job under SunOS (lpq -Pfoo) would show the process of
papif: idle, busy, waiting, Out of Paper, etc. -- none of this seems
to be available with CAP+Solaris printing.
Thanks again to all of you who responded; James's note is enclosed
below for your reference.

I did this some time ago as a project, and it did work fine, but someone made a decision soon after getting this all up and running to use a BSD machine to do printing (or something like that).
I'm including 3 files:
1) The add_at_printer file I've modified to add a printer with papif hooks...
2) The interface.template file you need to install as the printer interface (you'll need to define "MYHOME" -- see the early lines in the script). The thingie is set to run gid lp -- you can feel free to fix it in any other manner you choose to be secure. This was a proof of concept and not put into full production -- only limited production.
3) The instructions I wrote for the department on how to get this to work. I think it's pretty clear even though there are a lot of specific paths in there. Let me know what's not and I'll try to edit it more carefully.
You can take a look at this, decide if you want to do this, and then do with this message as you see fit... :-) I have no ego to bruise.
BTW, this was Solaris 2.4 about 8 months ago.
Good luck.

##### # # The protocol between the interface program and the Spooler # is fairly simple: # # All standard error output is assumed to indicate a # fault WITH THE REQUEST. The output is mailed to the # user who submitted the print request and the print # request is finished. # # If the interface program sets a zero exit code, # it is assumed that the file printed correctly. # If the interface program sets a non-zero exit code # less than 128, it is assumed that the file did not # print correctly, and the user will be notified. # In either case the print request is finished. # # If the interface program sets an exit code greater # than 128, it is assumed that the file did not print # because of a printer fault. If an alert isn't already # active (see below) one will be activated. (Exit code # 128 should not be used at all. The shell, which executes # this program, turns SIGTERM, used to kill this program # for a cancellation or disabling, into exit 128. The # Spooler thus interpretes 128 as SIGTERM.) # # A message sent to the standard input of the ${LPTELL} # program is assumed to describe a fault WITH THE PRINTER. # The output is used in an alert (if alerts are defined). # If the fault recovery is "wait" or "begin", the printer # is disabled (killing the interface program if need be), # and the print request is left on the queue. # If the fault recovery is "continue", the interface program # is allowed to wait for the printer fault to be cleared so # it can resume printing. # # This interface program relies on filters to detect printer faults. # In absence of a filter provided by the customer, it uses a simple # filter (${LPCAT}) to detect the class of faults that cause DCD # (``carrier'') drop. The protocol between the interface program and # the filter: # # The filter should exit with zero if printing was # successful and non-zero if printing failed because # of a printer fault. This interface program turns a # non-zero exit of the filter into an "exit 129" from # itself, thus telling the Spooler that a printer fault # (still) exists. # # The filter should report printer faults via a message # to its standard error. This interface program takes all # standard error output from the filter and feeds it as # standard input to the ${LPTELL} program. # # The filter should wait for a printer fault to clear, # and should resume printing when the fault clears. # Preferably it should resume at the top of the page # that was being printed when the fault occurred. # If it waits and finishes printing, it should exit # with a 0 exit code. If it can't wait, it should exit # with a non-zero exit code. # # The interface program expects that ANY message on the # standard error from the filter indicates a printer fault. # Therefore, a filter should not put user (input) error # messages on the standard error, but on the standard output # (where the user can read them when he or she examines # the print-out). # #####

################ ---- Item 3 ---- ################
To get printing to work, I took an interface file that was supplied with the cap60 software, but then had to tweak it a bit from what was there to get the postscript properly loaded into the papif file. The file is not printer name specific, but it does need to exist for every printer interface. In /usr/local/cap60, there is a script called "add_at_printers.ece" which will do the proper things to the various lp configuration files, and install the interface file from the interface.template file in /usr/local/cap60.
cap.printers is in /etc, along with etalk.local. afpvols is in /usr/local/cap60.
The ece-ps6 interface file is owned by lp group lp and set to run gid lp. The /dev/le device (or, to be exact, /devices/pseudo/clone@0:le) is also permitted mode 660 group lp. All interfaces must run gid lp or else the print job just can't be sent over the ethernet. add_at_printers.ece takes care of this.
I would say that this should make the printer work just like any other printer that has to go through the Solaris SVR4-style printer interface, and have all the same limitations. This configuration is clearly not fully supported by the people who do CAP, so any future prolems may or may not be solvable based upon the limitations of this software.
The other change to your system is the addition of S99appletalk to your /etc/rc3.d directory which will start up CAP and AUFS upon entering run-level 3. It can also be used to shutdown CAP and AUFS services.
Let me know if you have questions or if something doesn't seem to be working correctly. Otherwise, I'll consider that the CAP and CAP related issues are resolved.
