Ryan Novosielski suggested justpop.exe. i tried and love it. i just keep justpop running on startup on each windows machine. and it's a tiny program and no need to install. since the samba server forwars jobs to the print server, i was doing ssh to samba and smbstatus to query machine name base on the user who does the printing. it gets funny when user login two machines at the same time. so far everything works fine. i got almost everything (quota, popup msg error report, and web moniter) covered with few perl scripts. have been enjoy LPRng and more perl stuff. thanks for the help!
