A few years ago, I wrote a script which closely emulates the behaviour
of both `lp' and `lpr' commands -- even to the extent of using a
printcap configuration file, but pushing output directly to a Win32
print spool rather than attempting to emulate a *nix scheduler.  I've
been using it routinely ever since, both with MSYS and Cygwin, on Win2K;
I think it should probably also work with Win98.

I don't have it here, sine I use GNU/Linux exclusively at home, but I'll
post a copy when I get back to work tomorrow.

Keith.
