Disabling the “This document was sent to the printer” notification

 

By default, Windows 7 will inform you when you have successfully printed to a network printer. If you also think this information has no value, here’s the procedure to disable it.

To disable it, go to StartDevices and Printers. Next, select a network printer so the menu bar will show you Print server properties - click on it.

In case you’re an administrator and would like to disable this message for all of your users, set the registry value HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Printers\Settings\EnableBalloonNotificationsRemote to 0 (REG_DWORD).
