Support for it was dropped before Solaris 11 shipped - according to the writeup
from the GNOME team when they removed it:

            The last version of GNOME that included libgnomeprint or
            libgnomeprintui in the GNOME Platform was GNOME 2.10.  These long
            deprecated interfaces are no longer supported by the GNOME community
            and print interfaces have been migrated to the GTK+ library.
            The Desktop team plans to remove these interfaces and applications
            should now be using the more robust GTK+ based print interfaces.

Solaris 11 includes GNOME 2.30, which is 10 full releases past GNOME 2.10.
