Well the software we use is a commercial product from Mtxinu. Actually this is
not a bad software and they have a very good technical support team. It turns
out that they've also just finished updating the K-Spool version so that it will let mac users print out their file onto sun sparc printer.

Someone out there recommended CAP and lpr. Because lack of documentation, it
is hard to let them work completely.
