There are two print systems in OS: the old LP system, and CUPS
To find out which one is currently active, do:
print-service -q
If you are going to use CUPS, you first have to:
pkg install SUNWcups
If the current system is LP and you want to switch to CUPS
print-service -s cups
this will disable LP services...
and enable CUPS services.
This process is reversible.
You can configure the printer by firing up Firefox and then going to:
http://localhost:631
Then set up your printer.
I don't know anything about network printers, but the service is
disabled by default. You can enable it by:
svcadm enable printers:snmp
