file(1) in Windows Me

Hi, I've installed a2ps under Windows Me but I can't figure out what "FileCommand:" (see below) in the file a2ps.cfg should be set to. Point a is the Windows equivalent of the UNIX-command file(1). Points b and c: I guess is the Windows equivalent of what in UNIX would look something like lp -dlw510a. What should I set the variables at the points a,b and c below to? (I'm using Cygwin)
from the README-file:
||   There are several things a2ps needs to know about your system in
||   order to work properly.  Running configure should be enough to have
||   apropriate values, nevertheless, it sure is better if you good check
||   the following items:
||
||   1. At the end of etc/a2ps_cfg, the lines
||     a. FileCommand:
||     b. Variable: lp.default
||     c. Variable: lp
from a2ps.cfg:

# How to call file(1), and if possible, follow the links
FileCommand:


# Define a variable to call lp/lpr on the default printer, preceeded
# with a hook to post-process PostScript (to call psbook for instance).
# Something like `#{lp.hook} lp  #{lp.options}'
#             or `#{lp.hook} lpr #{lp.options}'.
Variable: lp.default #{lp.hook} cat #{lp.options}


# The same, but when a printer is specified.
# Something like `#{lp.hook} lp  #{lp.options} -d'
#             or `#{lp.hook} lpr #{lp.options} -P'.
Variable: lp #{lp.hook} cat #{lp.options} >
