When you send a print job to a printer, you may have noticed a message will pop up from the taskbar by the clock telling you your job has printed. You may have also noticed that it does not disappear until you click the X in the corner or switch to another application. This message will appear after installing Service Pack 2.
Here is how you disable the Print Notification message:
1. Click the Start.
2. Click Printers and Faxes or Settings then Printers and Faxes depending on which start menu you are using.
3. Click the File menu in the Printer and Faxes window.
4. Click Server Properties.
5. Click the Advanced tab in the Print Server Properties window.
6. Uncheck Show informational notifications for local printers to disable notification messages for printers directly connected to the computer.
7. Uncheck Show informational notifications for network printers to disable notification messages for printers that are shared on the network.
8. Click Ok.
9. Close the Printers and Faxes Window.
Now the print notification messages will no longer appear when you print.
