How do you disable print spooler messaging from one set. The PC was upgraded from win98 and office 97 pro to win2000 pro and office 2000 pro. Since the upgrade, everytime he sends a job to a network printer he gets the message that the job is finished printing. There is an Exchange server and NT server on the network. How do you disable this feature on this set?

From Microsoft documentation. This is down on the print server:

To enable or disable notifying users when printing completes

Open Printers

Click File, click Server Properties, and then click the Advanced tab.
To enable or disable notifying users when their print jobs finish printing, select or clear the Notify when remote documents are printed check box.
Stop and restart the spooler service, or reboot the server.
Note

To open Printers, click Start, point to Settings, and then click Printers.
When the Group Policy setting Notify Computer, not User is enabled, the computer that originated the print job is notified, even if the user who submitted the print job has logged off and another user has logged on.
