The lpr maintainer (which is not me; I maintain cygutils as a whole) has 
sent me a complete rewrite of that program.  It's been integrated into 
my test builds, seems to work okay (I used it to send a .ps to my 
spooler), and has been checked into CVS.

I'm waiting another week or two for some other issues to settle down 
before issuing a new version of cygutils -- but you can check out the 
CVS and build it yourself if you wish.

export CVSROOT=:pserver:sources.redhat.com:/cvs/cygwin-apps
cvs login
<password: anoncvs>
cvs checkout cygutils

Then run bootstrap, configure, make.  (Note: you need all of the 
autoconf, automake, and libtool packages installed to build cygutils)
