I am in the process of documenting a method of creating minimum Cygwin installation for our group. As a result, to identify a base list of packages, I ran cygcheck -c command to identify all of my packages. I noticed from the list that several: coreutils gettext libiconv were marked as incomplete so I ran setup.exe to re-install them. Unfortunately, I had several shells open during the setup process so installation of the latest (1 March 2005) cygwin1.dll was delayed until reboot. (I did reboot) The setup,exe run appeared to be successful but after the update, i was unable to print to a network printer via lpr or a2ps. (my setup.exe is dated 21 Jan 2005). Symptom: with the environment variable printer set to \\PDX-SRV10\PRN-Copier-B118, the simple command "lpr" results in the message: lpr: printer error: can't open '' for writing: The printer name is invalid. I then used setup.exe to re-install all packages in the Base category, hoping to update everything at a low level that could have caused the problem. Nothing changed. In fact, I now noticed that my current project that writes device commands to /dev/ttyS0 now hangs. Windows can access COM1: just fine but now, Cygwin can't. Before I re-install everything, I thought I'd ask here for any suggestions. Thanks in advance. I have attached the output of: cygcheck -s -v -r. Paul (See attached file: status)
