samba - Oct 2003 - print job complete messages

I know I've read something about this in the distant past, but i can't
seem to
find any info on it now.  I'm hoping someone knows offhand...

I'm using samba 2.2.8a and cups 1.1.17 to serve printing to some windows
2000
workstations.  Cups is set up with raw queues and I'm using the windows 
drivers available from HP.  When the clients print from the windows print 
server, they get a winpopup message that tells them when their job is done.  
We don't get this from the samba server. 

Does anyone know offhand where/how to integrate a script to send this message 
via winpopup to the clients?

If I can figure it out, I promise to write a howto and stick it up on the web 
somewhere (if there isn't one).  thanks in advance.

--> Re-name your "backend(s)" for the printer(s) [see the
"device URI" used].
--> create wrapper-script(s) that takes place of original backend(s).
--> let your wrapper-script call the (now re-named) original backend and do
     its job (of sending away the file to the printer)
--> make your wrapper-script check if job is completed (using a variant of
"lpstat -W completed -o")
--> make your wrapper-script send the pop-up message to the win user
--> "exit 0" (or else) your wrapper-script.
