Could someone help me with the CAP lwsrv program.  We have a Sun4 (os 4.1.2) and 
MacUs (sys 7) all on the same ethernet.  I have installed CAP on the Sun, and I
have the atis and aarpd deamons running.  I can do the atlook and atlooklws commands
and get all the appropriate printers and servers etc.  However, if I run the lwsrv with
the following command;

lwsrv -n bobo -p lp -a /usr/local/cap/procsets -f /usr/local/cap/LWPlusFonts -l
/usr/local/cap/lwlog

or with;

lwsrv -n bobo -p lp -a /usr/local/cap/procsets -f /usr/local/cap/LWPlusFonts -l
/usr/local/cap/lwlog -N

(I have an empty directory called /usr/local/cap/procsets and I moved the file 
LWPlusFonts that came with the CAP program to /usr/local/cap/LWPlusFonts.)

I get an appropriate deamon, I can see the bobo laserwriter in my Mac chooser, and
if I print a document, I see it on the Sun for a few seconds with the lpq -Pps command.

HOWEVER, the document does not print and instead I get the messages shown below
in my log files (R/usr/local/cap/lwlogS specified in the lwsrv command and 
R/var/spool/lw/logS specified in the printcap file.)

In addition, the size of the document indicated with the lpq -Pps command is much
smaller than if I make a postscript file on the mac, FTP that file to the sun, and then
print that file with the lp command.  Does the fact that we are using SunUs Newsprint
program have anything to do with this problem?

Enclosed is some relevent information taken from our Sun:
