Hi,

It seems that enscript was broken after I upgrated
cygwin to 64 bit version (1.5.3-1).


=================================== ERROR
91%enscript -M Letter -n 1 -G2r example.XWinrc
lpr: printer error: can't open 'C:\DOCUME~1\XMA~1.BRO\Desktop\\rw-prt-01hp8000-1' for writing: The printer name is invalid.
=================================== ERROR on commenting out Printer
Broken pipe
92%enscript -M Letter -n 1 -G2r example.XWinrc
lpr: no printer specified
Broken pipe
93%oe
=================================== 




PS: my  ~/.enscriptrc, which worked great, for 2 years

# --------------------------------------------
 AppendCtrlD: 1
 DefaultMedia: Letter
 SetPageDevice: Duplex:true
 Printer: \\\\rw-prt-01\\hp8000-1
# --------------------------------------------


Thanks

I think this breakage may have happened quite a bit before that, when
Cygwin started processing filenames with backslashes differently (around
1.3.19).  In any case, try changing the Printer: line to

Printer: //rw-prt-01/hp8000-1
