[Groff] Somewhat OT: question re: vi (vim) on Cygwin

This is off topic, but maybe someone can help me figure this
one out.

I use vim a lot on my Windows 98 machine running Cygwin, and
usually run my output through groff.  However, there are times
when I'd like to just print the file in plain text on my system
printer.

I find no evidence that Bash and Cygwin utilities any provision for
talking to the Windows equivalent of an LP spooler, and I have
found no way to use the lp command and have it work.

However, on rare occasions, I fat-finger a key or perhaps multiple
keys while using vim, and suddenly I'm getting output directly
on my Windows printer of the sort I'd like to be able to get on
other occasions, and I have no clue how I did it.

Can anyone out there in groff land provide me with any
enlightenment?  It would be most helpful, and greatly
appreciated.

Clarke
