Will papd work with a SPARCprinter?

Version: netatalk 1.2.1
Hardware: SPARC 10/41
OS: SunOS 4.1.3
NeWSprint: 2.1B

The above configuration has been running very smoothly for about a month;
the original intent was to allow Unix users to print to a number of
AppleTalk-connected Apple LaserWriters. Now I would like to allow the Mac
users to use our spiffy new SPARCprinter, connected to the same machine.

Attempts to send a Mac print job to the SPARC printer result in some rather
obscure PostScript-looking incantations out of NeWSprint -- one begins with
the line:

%%[exitserver: permanent state may be changed]%%
%%[Error: Message: process(0x29da9c, 'Unamed process', runnable)
Error: /undefined
Command: <many lines of hex deleted>

and another the same except for the Command: is "md".

Are there folks out there who are successfully driving a SPARC printer
from papd?

All clues, RTFM's (with citations) etc. cheerfully accepted
