Thanks Norm - my build 130 (updated earlier this month from my original 111) 
has LP as the default. I see from pkg manager that CUPS and CUPS-manager are 
there but not installed. After I install CUPS from the repo I have to disable 
LP. I can't have both - is that right ?
For CUPS you want the following printing related packages (most should already be installed)
    SUNWpc                print commands (LP or CUPS)
    SUNWcups-libs    libcups and friends
    SUNWcups                The CUPS scheduler and friends
    SUNWpycups            Python bindings for libcups
    SUNWcups-manager    system-config-printer (GUI mgmt tool)
SUNWhal-cups-utils HAL/CUPS/system-config-printer auto-detect/configure bits
    SUNWhpijs                    HPLIP printer support
    SUNWgutenprint          Gutenprint printer support
    SUNWfoomatic-db         Foomatic database
    SUNWfoomatic-db-engine  Foomatic CUPS support
    SUNWghostscript        need I say more
    SUNWgsfot                    Ghostscript fonts
    SUNWgsfst                    more fonts.
    SUNWgtk2-print-cups    CUPS support for GTK print dialog

Once these packages are installed execute the following:

This imports the service manifest for the CUPS related services

   $ pfexec svccfg import /var/svc/manifest/application/cups.xml

This disables the LP related services and enables the CUPS services.

   $ pfexec /usr/sbin/print-service -s cups

That should make CUPS the default print service on your system.

The blog entry I referred to should be of help.
