- Subject: access to network printer w2k
I'm having a problem accessing a network printer. Seems like the exact
same Cygwin install under XP on a different computer is working fine.
lpr -D on the XP system shows a list of the Windows printers, but all I
get it the following:
Example calls:
lpr -D -P //eris/lj5 DIR_COLORS
Windows printer name = ''
isWindows9x = 0, isWindows2K_NT4 = 1
lpr: printer error: can't open '' for writing: The printer name is invalid.
Using just lj5 will print
Windows printer name = 'lj5'
isWindows9x = 0, isWindows2K_NT4 = 1
lpr: printer error: can't open 'lj5' for writing: The printer name is
invalid.
results of uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.0 trivia 1.5.17(0.129/4/2) 2005-05-25 19:38 i686 unknown
unknown Cygwin
Help please.
John
