Let $T(t),0\leq t<\infty ,$ be a one parameter $C$-semigroup of bounded linear operators on a Banach space $X,$ and $A$ be the generator of $T(t)$. Let $R(\lambda ,A)$ be the resolvent operator of $A$. It is known that for exponentially bounded $C$-semigroups, $\left\| R(\lambda ,A)C\right\| \leq \frac M{\lambda -\omega }$ $\;$for $\lambda >\omega .$ The object of this paper is to study such an inequality for the $\left( p,q\right) $-summing norms. Further, we give some conditions for a $C$-semigroup to be in the ideal of $\left( p,q\right) $-summing operators.
