There is a bug, 6878506 printer configured using Print Manager/Solaris
Print Manager - no printing, which doesn't seem to show up in the
OpenSolaris bugs page. The bug contains 2 workarounds. The first one
worked for me.
Workaround
1. modify the interface script that LP uses to print to the printer
(/etc/lp/interfaces/{queue}so that it runs
/usr/lib/cups/filterfoomatic-rip-hplip instead of
/usr/lib/lp/bin/foomatic-rip
2. switch to CUPS and create your queue under CUPS.
# pkg install SUNWcups
# svccfg import /var/svc/manifest/application/cups.xml
# print-service -s cups
You can create your queue by launching System -> Administration
-> Printer Manager after switching to CUPS, CUPS web interface
(http://localhost:631/admin/), or lpadmin (1cups) "man -s 1cups lpadmin"
