Julian-
I append a message that dealt with this topic a few weeks ago.
Note that I have not implemented this, but it looks like it should work...

Tim,
I am using Solaris 2.5.1 and printing through the "pipe" support in the
print queuing. My papd.conf file contains:
>QMS 2000 Spool:\
> :pr=|/usr/bin/lp:op=operator:pd=/usr/share/lib/ppd/QMS2000.PPD:
This seems to work just fine and should work for you. Try it.
Note the PIPE character "|" is the first character in the pr= string.
