HI there,
 
        Responses to my question on Solaris printing to NT were as
follows. I'd *love* to go with (3) but will probably use (4).

 
1) shell wrapper which checks on filetype
2) set NT port to RAW, set "SimulatePassThrough=1" in registry (2 votes)
3) move printing off NT and onto UNIX :-)
4) force printer to PostScript, use a2ps or some such text converter. (2 votes)
5) set up separate postscript and text queues on the UNIX box. (3 votes)
6) Change NT Print Processor settings until it works (haven't tried this
   yet).
 
Thanks to:
