The Foomatic DB at linuxprinting.org claims that it works perfectly with
foomatic, but the PPD isn't on the site. I am curious about the PPD you
used and how you are connected to it (I assume USB based on your
comments below) The fact that the light flashes would mean that you are
generating some output for the printer and sending it, but it may not be
in a format that the printer understands and/or the printer may require
a mode of communication that LP doesn't support. You might try
communicating to it over the network and see if that clears up your
problem. You also might try a different PPD file using a different
driver. That being said, if it works under CUPS for you, I would use
it. Barring some unforseen event, we will be including a copy of CUPS
on Solaris in a few weeks. At that time, you will have the opportunity
to choose either LP or CUPS as the "active" print service. (See
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/arc/caselog/2008/130/).
