See the FAQ:
<http://cygwin.com/faq/faq-nochunks.html#faq.using.printing>
thank you. but the FAQ only explained how to print if one know the
printer's network share name. i think my problem firstly is find out
the printer name, that is not explained in the FAQ. does anyone get
know how to know a printer's share name if the printer is shared via
Windows's domain? i am sorry for such a question, but the printer is
automatically installed on my computer, might via a network startup
script, so i lose the chance to get know the details. the only thing i
can do now is to play with the printer's properties dialog.
thanks in advance.
