Hi there

I'm using Windows XP Pro on a network attached to Windows Server 2003.

Every time I print a document, I get a confirmation balloon popping out of the system tray, saying something like "Your document has been sent to the printer". I have to click the little [X] box in the balloon to close it.

Does anyone know how to stop this confirmation happening? It occurs when I print from any program.

I'm not young enough to know everything.

To Enable or Disable Notifications of Completed Print Jobs
1. Click Start, and then click Printers and Faxes.
2. On the File menu, click Server Properties.
3. On the Advanced click the options you want to apply:
• Show informational notifications for local printers. This option notifies users when a job is printed on a printer that is attached to this computer.
• Show informational notifications for network printers. This option notifies users of this computer when a job is printed on a remote computer.
4. For client computers that are running versions of Windows earlier than Microsoft Windows 2000 that access the printers on this computer, there are additional configuration options to choose from:
• Notify when remote documents are printed. This option sends a message to the user who sent a job to a printer that is attached this computer.
• Notify computer, not user, when remote documents are printed. This option sends a message to the computer from which the print job was sent, regardless of which computer on which the sending user is currently logged on.
