There is a PPD file for this specific model of printer on
openprinting.org in the foomatic DB. From looking at it, it looks like
this printer should work with the HL-2060 hl1250 PPD file or
you can download the HL-2040 specific PPD and add it to your system with
ppdmgr(1m).
This is the URL you end up with when looking for the PPD in
openprinting.org.

Once it's added, the OSPM and printmgr(1m) should offer it as a
selection in the model drop down.
You should probably take follow-up discussion of the printer issue to
printing-discuss at opensolaris.org
