a) Get a support contract for AIX or put in a one time incident call.
(Note: the directions on how to do this may actually be in the AIX
documentation, but it was not readily available to the person
who did this the last time.)
b) Work your way up to the top support level, until you find somebody
that knows how to hook AIX printing up to Solaris (that is the trick,
you see, finding the person).
c) Get the directions from him/her.
d) Set up the print spool for this type of operation, specifying the
destination as the LPRng print spooler.
This will work. Or at least, it did the last time somebody fought
through this.
I wish you the best of luck on this.
