Printing under Cygwin on W2K


According to the documentation, the following should print on the
default printer:

	bash$  cat myfile.txt > PRN

What I find is that a new file is created named "PRN".

Also according to the documentation, cygwin understands the double-slash
form used in Windows.  Thus the following should work:

	bash$  cat myfile.txt > //Dc1irv/laser1

This returns:

	bash: //Dc1irv/laser1: No such host or network path

So, what is the proper method for printing under cygwin?

BTW: uname -a returns:

CYGWIN_NT-5.0 jackal 1.5.10(0.116/4/2) 2004-05-25 22:07 i686 unknown
unknown Cygwin

Thanks in advance.
