Hi James,
the lpr protocol by default will not give back any status information, so
you have to query the queue, grep the logfiles etc. to get some status
information. The easiest place to do that is obviously the printserver
(your redhat machine ?) If you want to create windows pop-ups, you need a
samba installation there...
best regards

or lprng-digest-requests) with the word 'help' in the body. For the impatient,
to subscribe to a list with name LIST, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
with: | example:
subscribe LIST <mailaddr> | subscribe lprng-digest [EMAIL PROTECTED]
unsubscribe LIST <mailaddr> | unsubscribe lprng [EMAIL PROTECTED]
If you have major problems, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word
LPRNGLIST in the SUBJECT line.
