Any other thought about printing postscript files from cygwin; still can not print.
Somehow the printer is unknown even with hostname and device name.

Sort of.  Unless you were using a custom program, there WAS no cygwin 
version of lpr until about a month ago.  At that time, a cygwin version 
of lpr was added to the cygutils package.

My guess: you were previously using the native windows version of lpr in 
C:\WINNT\system32\ and now are using the new cygwin version.

Good things about the cygwin version: understands cygwin paths and 
filenames.  Bad things: command line options aren't the same -- and I 
don't think it can use ip addrs as print destinations.  Contributions 
welcome.
