It is possible that the programs are sending raw data, and the Sun is doing
some interpretation of the stuff.  Try spooling one of the jobs, and then
copying the file BY HAND directly to the io port.  If it works then you
will have to modify the printer interface to simply pass the raw data, and
not to do anything with it.
