Is there a way to block the system tray popup messages indicating successful
print jobs? I had the Windows Firewall enabled, which evidently blocked them,
but then I had to disable the FW to Symantec Enterprise to push client
updates across the network to the workstations, and now users are complaining
about the printer messages.

How To Enable or Disable Print Job Notifications in Windows XP

I am not sure what the registry key for this is.

Thanks, Alan. A little more digging, once you headed me in the right
direction, uncovered this page that explains the proces & shows the registry
entries: (FYI for anyone else reading this post):

http://support.microsoft.com/?id=831582

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Printers\Settings\EnableBalloonNotificationsLocal
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Printers\Settings\EnableBalloonNotificationsRemote
