Have you configured the printer as advised in the README
(included since version enscript-1.6.3-3, share in the example
is the name of the printershare):
Print:
- Charles Wilson explained the usage of lpr.exe:
Currently, lpr.exe from the cygutils package is not
documented (at all), and it expects printer shares
to be specified using backslash notation:
\\computer\share
of course, since those are backslashes, they have to
be escaped:
\\\\computer\\share
and what's odd, is that sometimes they must be escaped
twice
\\\\\\\\computer\\\\share
because two shells parse it.
