Re: Parallel Port LPRng
I actually solved the problem in this recent thread by doing the following workaround: 1) share the printer, 2) in the printcap refer to the printer with the path, ie lp=ine/printer Now I have to figure out how to send a linefeed at the end of the jobs, otherwise the last page requires manual intervention in the printer -- Walter Garcia-Fontes Barcelona, Spain -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwincom/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwincom/bugshtml Documentation: http://cygwincom/docshtml FAQ: http://cygwincom/faq/

Re: Parallel Port LPRng
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!
