Printing under Cygwin (again!)

Hello folks

Does anyone know of any print redirector software which could be used 
to  print a host-based document to the users default Windows printer 
under Cygwin/Xfree? We're looking at functionality similar to that 
provided by programs like the old 'ansiprt' program under Pine. If the 
user connected to the host using an SSH session with X11 tunnelling or 
regular xterm session, they could do something like

    host# cygprint output.log

on the host which would print the document to the users default Windows 
printer.

Any pointers/tips appreciated - I realise the whole issue of printing 
under X is a much larger issue, but was just curious if anyone knew of a 
solution specific to Cygwin.

Thanks

Scotty
