It's not realistic to assume that a printer that requires
a binary plugin for Linux is going to work on any Illumos derivative.
Even if you're able to fake out the plugin installer enough to make it
think that your system is a Linux system that it recognizes, once
the plugin is deposited onto your system, it's not going to work.

And lsb_release?
