There are some oddities with the driver for parallel ports on Sun machines. Check the archives - there have been a few discussions on this which may help.

I've got this to work in the past but CUPS can be a bit odd at times and some of the kernel translation code (32 bit to 64 bit) for some USB ioctls and URBs wasn't finished last time I looked.
