You should be switching print services LP <-> CUPS using print-service (1m)
# print-service -s lp
or
# print-service -s cups
This will disable/enable the appropriate services and toggle a bit in
the SMF repo that tells lp/lpstat/cancel/lpr/lpq/lprm/... which print
service is the "active" service.
The web interface is somewhat broken on OSOL and current Nevada builds.
It appears to be related to "root" as a role.
There is a bug
6717444 Unable to add printer.
6749292 CUPS stopped working in snv_98 (appears to be a dup of 6717444)
The workaround appears to be to add yourself to the sys group and you
should be able to authenticate as yourself.
