Andrey,
2/23/2018 update
Did you "find" it in WinSxS cache?
Yes but that's the one that won't execute on Windows 10.
It's the same on the machine with Cygwin installed and another windows 10
machine without Cygwin installed, and responds the same way from Windows -
can't run on PC.

On the Cygwin terminal:
rodne@Rodney-HP-Envy ~
$ which lpr
/usr/bin/lpr

rodne@Rodney-HP-Envy ~
$ cygcheck lpr
Found: C:\cygwin64\bin\lpr.exe

lpr: printer error: can't open '\\192.168.0.122\NPIA1F16 (HP Color LaserJet
CP2025n)' for writing: The specified network name is no longer available.

If I use wordpad on the windows side and open the .bashrc file I can print
it fine on the network printer.

Thanks for your help

Rod
