In Oracle Solaris 11, the legacy LP print service has been replaced by the Common UNIX Printing System (CUPS).
CUPS is a modular, open-source printing system that uses the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) as the basis for managing printers, print requests, and print queues. CUPS supports network printer browsing and PostScript Printer Description-based printing options. CUPS also provides a common printing interface across a local network.
For more information about CUPS and its configuration, refer to the Chapter 1, Setting Up and Administering Printers by Using CUPS (Overview), in Configuring and Managing Printing in Oracle Solaris 11.2 .
The following section describes print enhancement with the mp command-line utility.
