You should be able to configure the CUPS client in the lxBrandz Centos
3.7 environment to talk to the IPP listener in the global zone. The IPP
listener implements several CUPS extensions to IPP so that CUPS clients
can use a Solaris LP based server.
From a client system (media-center) running Ubuntu 7.10 to a system
(home, 192.168.0.1) running Solaris Nevada build 80.

As for how well this works on S10, It should work, but I know that I
fixed a few bugs in the IPP protocol support that would affect
interoperability, so S10u4 or later would be better.
