I think cups is to generate pdf not to print pdf files. It basically installs printer and when the other sort of docs sent to this printer it generates pdf(called printing to pdf). It is not of my requirement. Thanks And Regards, Muralidhar Yaragalla.

Right? Look at CUPS - a quick google on cups+print+pdf will get you nearly all you need. In general, getting something to print is 90% a sysadmin issue involving obscure interactions between the host OS and the printer, so you won't find any complete recipe; you'll have to experiment.
