Perhaps it's enabled for LPR access, but not as a network share? Remote chance that this is the case.. Gilles: can you access the printer by just doing: cat somefile.txt > //mimosa/glaeiul or cat somefile.txt > '\\mimose\glaeiul' ? (If it at least makes the printer lights blink, you know that the share is available and valid. If not, you may want to check the printer share first..) -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
