On your Solaris 10 or OpenSolaris print server:
# lpadmin -p hp4050 -v /dev/null -m netstandard_foomatic \
-n /usr/share/ppd/SUNWfoomatic/HP/HP-LaserJet_4050-hpijs.ppd.gz \
-o dest=192.168.1.3:9100 -o Duplex=DuplexNoTumble \
-o banner=never -T PS -I postscript
# enable hp4050
# accept hp4050
# svcadm enable svc:/application/print/rfc1179:default

On your Solaris 10 or OpenSolaris print client:
# lpadmin -p hp4050 -s 192.168.1.2!hp4050
$ lpr -Php4050 /usr/share/ghostscript/8.64/examples/alphabet.ps
