The FAQ at http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/printing/faq/ should
help. If you are using a current SXDE, the printmgr(1m) should allow
you to configure a "new network printer" using the "URI" protocol and
the smb://windows-server/queue uri form for the destination.
Windows printing requires that the client system (Solaris in this case)
generate printer ready output before it gets sent to the windows queue.
