Lpr problem with Cygwin 1.5.13 (Works fine with 1.5.12)

I'm having problems with lpr since I updated to the 1.5.13 version of
cygwin. When I roll back the cygwin package (cygwin package only) to
1.5.12, lpr worked again.
I'm using lpr to print to a Samba printer. I have exported the
PRINTER environment variable that points to the UNC name of the
printer "//MAPLE/CLP510N".
The Error message I get when I try to print with "lpr foo.ps" is:
lpr: printer error: can't open '' for writing: The printer name is invalid
The same as described in
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-03/msg00361.html
Reading the thread started with the above message, I know that it has
been identified as a cygwin bug. What I don't know is when will it be
fixed. Will the fix be in the upcoming 1.5.14?
If yes, thank you very much. If not, is there a workaround aside from
rolling back to 1.5.12?
