Hi james,
IMHO the easiest thing to do is establish another SAMBA instance on the
redhat machine and write a script/filter that gets the originating host
from the control file and monitors teh staus of printer etc. Than use the
local SAMBA installation to create pop-ups on the client...
hope this helps
