Thanks for the reply.
I checked with this earlier. It wa posted on 2004. Most of the library files mentioned in that site is not available now.

In the below site I am able to download CUPS software. but there is no procedure for installation.

cups-1.0.2

I tried it installing it by SAM. it got installed in opt directory but the CUPS site is not opening.

Please let me know the details.

Hi.

Are CUPS deamons running?

You shall link cups bin to rc2.d as start and rc1.d as kill.
for example:
ln -s /sbin/cups /sbin/rc1.d/K99cups
ln -s /sbin/cups /sbin/rc2.d/S99cups

In my example cups bin is located at /sbin

As far as I remember, CUPS does not putting links to rc*.d

i downloaded CUPS 1.3.7 for HP-UX 11.11 PA-RISC architecture and all the dependency libraries like gcc, gettext.......

first I am trying to install libraries. All the libraries got installed except gcc... the gcc 4.2.3 that I am tryin to install gives error and in the log it is showing "gcc.gcc-RUN,r=4.2.3 cannot be successfully resolved. You must resolve the above dependencies before operating on this fileset or change the "enforce_dependencies" to "false".

should i use gcc 4.2.1 or 4.2.3.
if i have to use gcc-4.2.1 Please provide me the link for gcc4.2.1.

If gcc-4.2.3 should be used ples help me with the procedure...

Thanks,

Then executed ./configure file.

Then gave make command. the error thrown was
