Not in the foreseeable future. The only solution I can envisage
would be to use two zones: one with the CIFS service and the other
with Samba. I suspect Samba can run in a zone because it's a
user space application but we are still a long way from supporting
non-global zones in the CIFS service, and it's not currently a
high priority.

I believe that you edit /etc/apache/httpd-standalone-ipp.conf
and then enable the IPP listener service:
svcadm enable application/print/ipp-listener
I'm not sure if you need to restart apache.
There are notes on the web:

On Windows, add a new local printer (not a network printer)
and under "Create a new port" select "Standard TCP/IP port"
and go from there. It's been a couple of years since I set
this up on Windows but, IIRC, that was the only trick.
As an aside, the Solaris Printing group expressed interest in
building the backend to the SPOOLSS service a while ago but I
haven't heard anything recently. If anyone would like to work
on it, this would be a good, well-defined, self-contained
project.
