Yes, the Solaris client-side IPP support implements authentication. If
the HTTP connection that IPP rides on top of requests authentication,
you should be prompted for a passphrase.

If you need all three and are running a Nevada build 87 or later based
system, you can switch from LP to CUPS using
% print-service -s cups
which supports all three.
If you need all three and are running something prior to Nevada build
87, you can install CUPS from the Software Companion and use it.
