Hi Folks,

Using Cygwin 1.5.19-4, gv 3.6.1-1, Windows XP Pro SP 2.  I'd like to 
print a PDF file from Ghostview - Where do I find the correct device 
name for my HP USB Printer?

Clicking the Print button from Ghostview offers "lpr" as the current 
device.  From the Start/Settings/Printers and Faxes clickpath, there is 
an icon with the label "hp officejet 6100 series."  In the Properties 
dialog under the "Ports" tab, there is a port labeled "USB001."

So, what path should be in the Print dialog box for Ghostview to point 
the output to this USB printer?

Thanks in advance.
