I'm not sure that it makes sense to generally just add a bunch of Q and A'a to the FAQ with search URLs. Search URLs, IMO, are mechanism to teach folks the way to search the archives and net for answers to questions they have, common or not. To me, this is a complimentary resource to the FAQ, not fodder for it. In that light, it might be worthwhile to add an entry in the FAQ of the form: Q. This FAQ doesn't answer my question. Where can I find the answer? A. The best option is to search the mailing list and/or the net for your issue. Search the Cygwin mail archives at http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/ or use your favorite search engine (i.e. www.google.com) to search the net. In terms of the issue about printing and the absence of lp/lpr, I suggest adding a specific entry here that provides some of the alternatives that have been mentioned in the email archives (i.e. bash aliases, script files, DOSisms, batch files). Just my $.02.
