Parallel Port LPRng

[Walter Garcia-Fontes]

I've been trying to install Bakkens LPRng port. I can't print to a printer
attached to the parallel port of my system. There was some discussion on this
on Nov. 2001:
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2001-11/msg01015.html
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2001-11/msg01054.html

but the discussion died just there. 

I've tried different printcap files such as:

lp
        :lp=/lpt
        :sh
        :mx=0
        :sd=/var/spool/%P

or

lp
        :lp=prt
        :sh
        :mx=0
        :sd=/var/spool/%P

but it doesn't work (lpr and lpd don't produce any error, it's as if the file
is delivered, but no output comes from the printer). 

Anybody has this working on a parallel printer?
