A final note, if someone has a similar need:

- this started off as an attempt  to enable opensolaris printing on a Canon 
ir3100CN, offering colour, duplex, stapling, sorting, and a lot of other options
- no opensolaris_86 driver is available, but a free Linux driver is provided by 
the vendor, including a ppd- file
- importing this ppd- file into the ppd- cache /w ppdmgr enabled printing with 
the lp printing system on OS_86, but only single-sided. All the goodies were 
not recognized.
- switching to cups and still using the said ppd-file now enabled all options - 
works well so far.

Perhaps useful for other printers as well.

Cheers,
Wolfgang
