Cygwin programs use their own C runtime, which conflicts with msvcrt.dll used by Microsoft tools. In short: without really nasty contortions, I doubt you'd be able to print from both a Cygwin program and a DLL compiled outside of Cygwin. Either compile all your DLLs under Cygwin as well, or use the "-mno-cygwin" flag (which invokes the MinGW version of gcc). Note that in the latter case, you will not get the full POSIX emulation that Cygwin provides, and your program will be a pure Windows program.
