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.
