Charles,
I found your message on cygwin ( http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/ )
but could not reply there. I followed your advisor and made my
enscript worked!!!
I added one line on my cshrc.csh
setenv PRINTER \\\\RW-PRT-02\\HP5SI-2
and use the default /etc/enscript.cfg
The only trouble I have is that for every job I printed,
I received an extra page with such contents:
PostScript Error Handler
Offending Command =
Error = nametype :undefined
Stack =
Any idea?
How to escape such error message?

Thank you very much -- that did it for me. I didn't try the first form,
but the second form worked just fine. This enabled me to send my output
to a shared network printer.

Try this
$ export PRINTER=\\\\\\\\computer\\\\printername
(or maybe)
$ export PRINTER=\\\\computer\\printername
and then run enscript.

Like Xiangjiang, I am also stumped on how to configure the Cygwin 'lpr'
so that it can be used by enscript. I searched the archives but didn't
succeed in finding anything that seemed to help.
Here are the messages I get:
lpr: can't open 'prn' for writing
lpr: The printer name is invalid.
If it helps any, the printer I want to use is on the network but
associated with lpt1 through an NT login script. It is able to print
either PCL or PS.
TIA....

Hallo Xiangjiang,

Enscript uses 'lpr' from the cygutils package for printing
to PRN.
Printing under Cygwin was discussed a lot of times on this
list and there is a really good reason why 'lpr' is in the
cygutils package included.
Please search the archives, I'm sorry that I cannot tell you
some more right now, I will have to search the archives too
before I know why you cannot print;)
