The default behaviour for CUPS on Solaris is to generate a printers.conf 
file that contains entries that work with the Solaris client  commands.  
This generates the _all entry as part of the data.  Since you have 
switched over to CUPS, you probably don't need it generating the file.

You can turn off /etc/printers.conf generation with
    # cupsctl Printcap=
or you can switch to BSD printcap format with
    # cupsctl PrintcapFormat=BSD
