I haven't done this in 3 years at least, but I have had pretty good luck
using the HP Jetadmin software to do this. First you will need to get the
jetadmin software for your version of Solaris. I found this on HPs web
site, but it was several years ago. I have included a link on how to setup
the software once you get it.

After it is installed, you need to edit the /etc/printers file to make the
new printers available to the I/A system.
Probably a good idea to back this file up first. I od'ed and it looks like
it's just tabs separating the fields.
Mine looks like this
#pg /etc/printers
hp4 0010 PS Laserjet 4
hp5 0010 PS Laserjet 5
This seems to work well for printscreens, and normal printing functions
from I/A. I have not had good luck using this setup as an alarm printer.
Hope this helps.

David Johnson
