So, all you'd need to do is lpr -P//<servername>/<printername> yourfile and with luck you'd have output.
the problem is, it only has a 'printname' and with no servername on it. that's what makes me confusion and i think the MS-Windows domain plays a role here. another guess is, because the printer is a network printer, it has it's own ethenet connector, so it does not connect to any server. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
