Cups setup Solaris 11 5/07 5.11

The missing files on Companion Dvd SFWgprnt SFWhpijs SFWssl. .

Why include a package that can't be installed (complete) in the Companion Dvd?

Can anyone advise where the remaining packages might be obtained?

I tried the openssl from http://sunfreeware.com/openssl-0.9.7g-sol10-intel-local.gz but cups failed to be able to use same (for 10 not 11).

Thanks

john

You can install CUPS from Solaris 10 companion DVD, it has all packages.I didn't try Solaris 11, but it should work.

The Companion I downloaded was Solaris 10 11/06 Software Companionand that is the only one listed for x86.

Here is how I finally got cups working on Solaris 11 5/07 5.11

Download the Companion Dvd http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/freeware/

Download openssl 0.9.7 ftp://ftp.sunfreeware.com/pub/freeware/intel/10/openssl-0.9.7g-sol10-intel-loca l.gz

Install SFWgcmn, and SFWrline.

1.Then install the packages in the following order:

SFWfltk, SFWoslp, SFWcups, SFWpnm2p, SFWxpp.

2.Finally I created a batch to control the Cups server:

#!/bin/bash

# bin/cups.sh Control Cups Printer/Server

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/sfw/lib:/usr/local/ssl/lib

/opt/sfw/cups/etc/init.d/cups $1

Simply start via cups start or stop cups stop

You can see installation guide of CUPS on Solaris 10 here: http://www.lengers.com/?p=12I used this guide to install CUPS. There was no need to download some additional packages. All was included in the companion DVD.
