@subsection How do I print under Cygwin?
In lieu of a comprehensive FAQ entry (which will come soon), there are a
couple of messages from the mailing list archives that may be helpful.
Start at @file{http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2001-04/msg00657.html}.
Jason Tishler has written a couple of messages that explain how to use
a2ps (for nicely formatted text in PostScript) and ghostscript (to print
PostScript files on non-PostScript Windows printers). Start at
@file{http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2001-04/msg00657.html}. Note that the
@samp{file} command is now available as part of Cygwin setup.
Alternatively, on NT, you can use the Windows @samp{print} command. (It
does not seem to be available on Win9x.) Type
@example
bash$ print /\?
@end example
for usage instructions (note the @samp{?} must be escaped from the
shell).
Finally, you can simply @samp{cat} the file to the printer's share name:
@example
bash$ cat myfile > //host/printer
@end example
You may need to press the formfeed button on your printer or append the
formfeed character to your file.
@subsection Why don't cursor keys work under Win95/Win98?
