As a side note, when we were still running SunOS 3.X, we purchased K-spool to
try and get our Sun to print to LaserWriters on an Appletalk network.  I
eventually got K-spool partially working but it was very fragile and
eventually completely died.  Whether this is because of K-spool or because of
the known reliability problems with Apple Appletalk connectors I never figured
out.

I gave up and we purchased a good laser printer for the Sun. We hope to use
the CAP package to permit Macs to access this printer, but it is a low
priority.
