All of those fields are filling in via change notify messages. Please note that MS has broken this functionality with XP sp2 (even in a Windows network). I don't know of any hotfix that addresses it yet.
Also be aware that setting 'lpq cache = 5' will cause high loads (and without the patch I mentioned possibly large memory consumption caused by excessive amounts of print_queue_update() calls.

Nope. It's all way to complicated IMO. Right now we batch up the print change notify messages before sending to the client. We also consolidate things like the page count and size messages so that we send one per printer per batch.

I'm pretty sure it will.
