CAP 6.0 print MAC-->Sun

I am having trouble printing from a MAC to the Sun's printer using CAP 6.0.
The lwsrv README file is sketchy and incomplete, raises more questions
than answers.  As a consequence I don't have any confidence that I have
things set up right.  I managed to capture a ProcSet file running lwsrv
with the -t option (capturing a tracefile), but none of the suggested
editing seems relevant.  There is no hex defined for "smooth" or "stretch"
functions.  In fact there is nothing that ends in "cleartomark".

When I try to print, using either NewsPrint or Ghostscript, I get an
undefined command "T".  This apparently (?) comes from something near the
beginning that reads:
%%BeginDocumentSetup
md begin
T sgd
svsc

T T 0 0 730 552 -31 -30 761 582 100 72 72 1 F F F F T T T F psu
(Fred; document: VK&A Dec92)jn
0 mf
od
%%EndDocumentSetup

Probably this error is just fallout from not having things arranged right.
I suspect that there is a lot that isn't set up right.  The PostScript
submitted for printing is full of %!PS-Adobe-2.0 Query things, % *EOF*,
and other stuff that I am not convinced that NewsPrint will understand.
However, I could be completely wrong.

Has anyone set up to print on a Sun using NewsPrint (or other way) from a 
MAC?  I assume there must be many.  Perhaps you could share the relevant
files and command line arguments for lwsrv; it would certainly be appreciated.

thanks.

p.s. relevant system info: macIIci has the latest Apple Ethernet card in it;
I am running MAC-OS 7.1, I have selected Ethertalk in the chooser, I run
CAP with the Ethertalk interface (Sun NIT).  I have SunOS 4.1.1.  The
file sharing part of CAP works just fine.
