a) explanation of how the popup on Windows works (for the recipe).

On windows 95 or 98, WinPopup need to be running to receive WinPopup messages. With 
Windows NT or 
Windows XP, you can receive message without starting it. Message will automatically 
appear in a
small dialog box on the scren when received.

Windows popup message gives users quick feedback about what is going on with their 
print jobs.

For Windows 95/98,  justpop.exe is a good choice if you don't want to run Winpopup on 
client
machine. 

Find it here (no need to install). http://www.zinkwazi.com/tools/justpop.exe


b) Samba configuration changes (if any) to make this work.

Add one option to the 'print command' in smb.conf like this:

print command = lpr -r -CREMOTEIP=%I  -P%p %s

then in accounting.pl, use following line to get the hostname

$host =  scalar gethostbyaddr(inet_aton($remote_ip),AF_INET)
        if (($remote_ip) = $opt{C}=~ /REMOTEIP=(.*)/);



I must thank Ryan Novosielski and Rick Cochran for sharing justpop.exe and this idea 
of getting 
remote hostname with us.
