One small NT 4 server network with only one domain. Two users. Mary was on W2K pro who has now moved to another dept. New girl, Liz, now works on Mary's PC. When Mary prints on PC in other dept (Win98) notification message flashes on new girls monitor. New girl is being driven mad. Mary's profile deleted from old machine but problem persists. Help since I look bad in front of new girl.

I'm no NT wiz but had a similar problem on 98se network. I had to delete the 'networked' printer from within the users' log-on and reinstall a network printer while still logged on as that user.

Just a thought, hope it helps. H

Go to Control Panel - CSNW - double click - uncheck the box "notify when printed".

Really not enough information in the question, however if it is tcp/ip printing and you are using DHCP, do the following, stop the printer spooling on local machine, release the ip with ipconfig /release. Shut down the machine and restart. The server is actually causing this to happen but this should stop it. Similar problems occur when changing printers with the same ip address because the server registry retains the information, it is also retained on the workstation cache.

In Windows open Control Panel, Double click on Printers, click on File, Server Properties and switch to the Advanced tab. Deselect notify on print option. This should clear up the problem, thus allowing you to win the heart of the new girl :)Frank

Right-click on "Network Neighbourhood" and select properties for "File and printer Sharing" ... Under the Advanced tab, check that LM announce is selected as "NO" ...
