Print messages in Windows 2000

Here are a couple of suggestions. If you?re going to work in the registry, be sure to back it up first.

Open the Printers folder and go to File _> Server Properties. Go to the advanced tab there and uncheck the Notify when Remote Documents are Printed check box

To prevent PopUp messages from appearing upon print job completion:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Providers

To prevent PopUp notification: add a value name of NetPopup, set REG_DWORD to 0. To prevent logging: Add VALUE: EventLog set Reg_DWORD to 0.
