Installation of CUPS in AIX

Hi,

In cups.org, it is said CUPS 1.1.9 adds support for AIX, adds several performance improvements to the scheduler, adds support for the Apache Include directive, adds new HideImplicitMembers and ImplicitAnyClasses directives, stores user-defined options as differences from the system-defined options, adds a "natural-scaling" option for printing images, and fixes a number of small bugs. Binaries for several platforms are available."

but in AIX site, CUPS support is not mentioned.
so can anybody tell me whether there is support for CUPS on AIX?
If so,
please provide me the download link for CUPS on AIX.

Thanks in advance.

Try the Linux Toolbox CDs which usually ship with AIX, if you got them. Or have a look at Welcome to Bull AIX freeware site if they have an already compiled version for you. Else you might have to compile it yourself or just use AIX's print spooling.

Thanks for the reply.
This site Welcome to Bull AIX freeware site does not have CUPS software installation. Please let me know if you have any other solution.

Can you tell me the spooling system supported in AIX?
AIX has got it's own printing system called AIX. Is it right?

AIX has its own printing system, which has a SysV-like frontend as well as a BSD-like frontend. All the queues are configured via the file /etc/qconfig, which you can also modify directly with your favourite text editor.

I hope this helps.
