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

Sort of. Unless you were using a custom program, there WAS no cygwin
version of lpr until about a month ago. 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. Contributions
welcome.
