A. Start the Registry editor, and change KHEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlPrintProviders and set the entry NetPopup to 0. You should then reboot Windows (however stopping and restarting the print spooler will suffice). If the printer is on an NT server, than this setting needs to be set on the Server which controls the print queue.
This can also be done from the Printers Control applet
Start the Printer control applet (Start - Settings - Printers)
From the File menu select "Server Properties"
Select the Advanced tab
Uncheck the "Notify when remote documents are printer"
Click OK
Reboot the computer
