Plot notification balloon

We've just installed SP2 for Win XP Pro......
How do I turn off that infernal balloon that’s started coming up from my system tray every time I send a plot?

Its not even telling me that the plot was successful (or not) just that it has been sent to the printer.

 

Never mind.....I found it.


After installation of Windows XP Service Pack 2, a balloon window is displayed every time a print job is sent to a networked printer informing the user that the job has been spooled succesfully. You may wish to disable this option.
To disable the network print notification balloon windows in Windows XP SP2:

Use a registry editing tool to navigate to the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Printers\Settings


Change the value with the following details:
Data Type: DWORD
Value Name: EnableBalloonNotificationsRemote
Value: 0


Stop and restart the spooler service for the change to take effect

 

That seems like an awful lot of trouble. I just switched to XP, and it's
prompting me to install SP2. Maybe I'll delay that until I find out all the
pros and cons.

displayed every time a print job is sent to a networked printer informing
the user that the job has been spooled succesfully. You may wish to disable
this option.

 

You can go into the "Printers and Faxes" dialog > File > Server Properties,
and uncheck "Show informational notifications for network printers" in the
Advanced tab.
