Note that you can't run both samba and the Solaris CIFS service on a system at the same time - because they both attempt to listen on the same ports.
I've used IPP on Windows to talk to network printers but I haven't tried configuring Windows/Mac clients to use CUPS/IPP with Solaris as the print server. Seems like a good experiment regardless of the CIFS service in use.
