The file that you need to modify is /etc/printers.conf. Here is a sample:
#
# If you hand edit this file, comments and structure may change.
# The preferred method of modifying this file is through the use of
# lpset(1M) or fncreate_printer(1M)
#
pr20979:\
:bsdaddr=srlprt1,pr20979,Solaris:
_default:\
:use=pr20979:
Make sure you have Solaris print server extensions specified by putting
"Solaris"
on the "bsdaddr" line. Without it options will not be passed. RTFM
printers.conf.
