According to the setup FAQs at the Dlink website, it appears
they have you using the Windows LPR client to submit print
jobs to the Dlink. That would mean Windows is NOT using a
different protocol.

The FAQs are unclear about the Solaris configuration, but
one of them appears to say the remote printer configuration
works, with a remote printer queue name of "lp". In Solaris,
that would be:

lpadmin -p solaris-printer -s ip-address\!lp

where "solaris-printer" is the name you want to use for the
printer on your Solaris machine, and "ip-address" is the
Dlink's IP address (or hostname, if you gave it one).
