Windows XP SP2 printer bubble 2

[StockcarsRus]

Since I have loaded SP2 on my PC, I get an annoying bubble whenever I send anything to the printer:

"This document has been sent to the printer" blah blah

Is there a way of stopping this from popping up?

Open notepad and copy/paste the below as a file to be saved as no_printer_notes.reg

*********** begin copy/paste below this line
REGEDIT 4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Printers\Settings]
"EnableBalloonNotificationsRemote"=dword:00000000

*********** end copy/paste above this line

You can distribute .reg files in any convenient manner. Attach the .reg file to an email message, add the appropriate command to a logon script, or use any other method you're comfortable with.

For example, a logon script could be:

net use t: \\server\share_name
regedit /s t:no_printer_notes.reg
net use t: /delete /Y
net stop spooler
sleep 5
net start spooler

Where \\server is a server with the file share \\share_name containing the file you made above with copy/paste.

Note: The spooler needs to be stopped and restarted for the command to take effect. The "sleep 5" above is to give the spooler time to stop before restarting. It will take effect the next time the machine is restarted.

After a day or so, edit logon scripts to remove the change.

It will take effect the next time the machine is restarted.

I meant it will also take effect on the restart of the workstation.
