Foomatic and Gutenprint are in Solaris today. Foomatic is reasonably
current, but could use an update. We are in the process of updating
things like Gutenprint and GhostScript to something more current. If
you use the print manager (/usr/bin/printmgr) to create your print
queues it should be reasonably simple. In Nevada build 69, there is a
new desktop applet ospm-applet, that watches the HAL device tree for new
printers and will automatically create print queues for you (it can be
entirely hands off or require your input depending on preferences) see
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/presto/ for more information.
CUPS is available on the companion for Solaris and I believe that it's
also built and packaged on Nexenta and Belenix. The companion version
is being updated as I write this.
