I have cc: printing-discuss at opensolaris.org which is more likely to have 
your printing questions answered :)
By default, Solaris  uses Solaris Printing and CUPS is also works but 
one has to install CUPS from the
companion CD.

Add/Remove printer is the GUI that allow you to add new printer. 
However, its list of ppd files are limited.
There is OpenSolaris project being worked on
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/printing/projects/ppdmgr/
which aims to make it easier for user to download a ppd file and make it 
available.

One thing I suggest you try with your ppd file below is into
/usr/lib/lp/model/ppd/system/foomatic/HP
as

HP-DeskJet_722C-pnm2ppa.ppd.gz


The launch Add/Remove Printer and do either
Printer->New Attached Printer... or
Printer->New Network Printer...

See if you can find your PPD file on the list.
