Thanks, but I looked at the last setup.exe and I could only find cygutils-0.9.8
without lpr...

* Parallel Port LPRng

I've been trying to install Bakkens LPRng port. I can't print to a printer
attached to the parallel port of my system. There was some discussion on this
on Nov. 2001:
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2001-11/msg01015.html
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2001-11/msg01054.html
but the discussion died just there.
I've tried different printcap files such as:
lp
:lp=/lpt
:sh
:mx=0
:sd=/var/spool/%P
or
lp
:lp=prt
:sh
:mx=0
:sd=/var/spool/%P
but it doesn't work (lpr and lpd don't produce any error, it's as if the file
is delivered, but no output comes from the printer).
Anybody has this working on a parallel printer?

As far as I know, without a /dev/lpt of some sort it won't work with
Cygwin for parallel printers. I hope you can get a net card!

Take a look at the source code for Rick Rankin's version of lpr. It is
in the cygutils-0.9.9 package.
