This is fixed in build 99 or 100. The desktop integration for the print
management tools move around some and we ended up with two autostart
files for the ospm for a build or two. You can remove
/usr/share/gnome/autostart/ospm-applet.desktop to fix this.

The printers:snmp service fails because it requires the SUNWsmmgr
package for the SNMP MIBS to work. For some reason, the SNMP support is
not completely there on the base install. You should be able to fix
this by doing the following:
$ pfexec pkg install SUNWsmmgr
$ pfexec svcadm restart hal
$ pfexec svcadm clear printers:snmp
The IPP listener service appears to have similiar issues. It's
implemented as an Apache 1.X module and it doesn't appear that Apache is
in the base install. You can either disable the service if you don't
have any remote IPP client systems or install the Apache 1.3 packages.
Once you have installed them, you should be able to use
$ pfexec svcadm clear ipp-listener
to start the service.
