Greetings, Michael Coulter!

> I'm running 64-bit Windows 10 with Cygwin (see attached cygcheck.out).

> The lpr command is sending my file to the printer, but it never prints.  
> It just sits in the Windows print queue with status "Sent to printer".

> e.g.:
> /usr/bin/lpr -d "ET-4500" xx.txt

> If I print something else with say, Word, that document gets printed 
> while the lpr job still sits there.

> My printer is an Epson ET-4500.

> It seems that somehow Windows or the printer needs to be told that the 
> job is complete and can be printed.

> Any suggestions?

Try Windows's LPR utility.
