Solution 1:

If popup doesn't work on all client computers, the local firewall settings on Windows may prevent Print Release Station from sending the message to the popup.

On the computer where has Print Release Station installed, add "printczrm.exe" (e.g., C:\Program Files\PrintLimit\Print Release Station\printczrm.exe) to the exception list of local firewall settings (Control Panel -> Windows Firewall).
