I'm having a problem accessing a network printer.  Seems like the exact 
same Cygwin install under XP on a different computer is working fine.

lpr -D on the XP system shows a list of the Windows printers, but all I 
get it the following:

Example calls:

lpr -D -P //eris/lj5 DIR_COLORS
Windows printer name = ''
isWindows9x = 0, isWindows2K_NT4 = 1
lpr: printer error: can't open '' for writing: The printer name is invalid.

Using just lj5 will print
Windows printer name = 'lj5'
isWindows9x = 0, isWindows2K_NT4 = 1
lpr: printer error: can't open 'lj5' for writing: The printer name is 
invalid.

results of uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.0 trivia 1.5.17(0.129/4/2) 2005-05-25 19:38 i686 unknown 
unknown Cygwin

Help please.

John
