An essential spooler file was either deleted or got corrupted.

>it gives error lpstat: execlp failed.

Were there any more details? I.e. file not found? Or some type of resource limitation. I.e. swapspace?

If you had tusc, it would show the real cause.

Re: on HP UX it gives error lpstat: execlp failed

which HP-UX version?
did u try restarting the spooller.

Compare the permission of of /etc/lp/and /var/spool/lp and important subdirectories under those.. probabaly u may have a permission issue.

check the history and see lp related changes are executed
