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

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.
