A few years ago, I wrote a script which closely emulates the behaviour of both `lp' and `lpr' commands -- even to the extent of using a printcap configuration file, but pushing output directly to a Win32 print spool rather than attempting to emulate a *nix scheduler. I've been using it routinely ever since, both with MSYS and Cygwin, on Win2K; I think it should probably also work with Win98. I don't have it here, sine I use GNU/Linux exclusively at home, but I'll post a copy when I get back to work tomorrow. Regards, Keith.
