- Subject: 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.
