Try this second pcap file. I used a utility called Hi-Jetter to do some of the things you mention above. The PCAP 
should include grabbing environment variables and status. I can get you a specific cap of changing the display text as 
well if that would help. The attached pcap does not actually show any changed data. It just asks for and receives the 
data from the printer. 

For those interested, you can download hijetter(1) for windows
Here's another link I found for a command-line version of the tool by the same authors that runs on linux(2)

I would guess the windows version would run under WINE as well but I haven't tested that.
