[OpenIndiana-discuss] has print/lp changed how it works?

I have an existing printers.conf file on a Solaris 10 box, which I wanted
to upgrade to an Illumos/OI box.

The system I am replicating has 85 printers set up, all over LPD to remote
computers.

Because of this, unlike all my other Illumos installs, I've installed
print/lp instead of CUPS.

When I copied over the printers.conf file none of the printers worked.

I removed all the printers and tried adding them again with the simple
"lpset" command:
 lpset -a bsdaddr=aircopier,lp aircopier

that command failed as well:
root at oracleapps:/home/jadams# lpstat -t
scheduler is running
no system default destination
aircopier: unknown printer
aircopier: unknown printer
aircopier: unknown printer
aircopier: unknown printer
Failed to contact service for aircopier: not-found

has the lpd service changed how it works?  Am I missing something in the
install?

Thanks

Jon
