Just recently I stated having pop-up balloons appear every time a network
printer prints a job. I have looked through just about everything but can
seem of find how to disable or turn this feature off. I happens on all of
my XP workstations and is very annoying.

Thanks for any assistance or help you might be able to provide.

There are a couple of ways to defeat this but the way
to actually disabled it is on the Print server.

Open the Printer (and Faxes in some OS's) Control Panel
on the Print server -- do not open a specific Printer, just
the main CP.

One the File (leftmost) menu, choose Server properties,
and find the Notify check box (mine is on the Advanced tab.)

Clear it. (It used to require restarting -- perhaps jus the
spooler service -- back in NT 4, not sure today.)

Thanks!

I took at look at it wasn't checked. I went ahead and checked it, restarted
the spooler, then unchecked it and restarted the spooler again. Hopefully,
this will work.. its driving us all nuts :-)

That's odd, unless it had been unchecked but
never re-booted.
