Printing dialog boxes, how to disable

IN windows XP, you could turn off "show information notifications on network
printers" in server properties, under the File menu when in control panel
"printers and faxes"

How do I turn this off in Vista?

Additional information. Vista is installed on a workstation on SBS 2003,
printer is attached to another XP workstation.

This should be a very simple item to disable, but i can't find anything on
it. Is anyone printing from Vista Business.

It took me forever to find as well, and typing "printer notifications"
in help gets you nowhere

open printers folder
on the left, you'll see the list of "folders" in the lower-left frame
right-click the printers icon (under "hardware and sound")
select "server properties"
select "advanced" tab
deselect "show informational notifications for network printers"

Yet another seed for a good mac vs vista ad.

Hi There,

To disable print notifications in vista i found the following to work:

Right click on start,
Select Properties,
A pop up box will open,
Select the Third Tab, "notifications"
Select Customize,
Underneat "past items" there will be a print icon,
on the right of the icon you will find a drop down box with three options,
from the drop down box, select "hide"

Notifications is now disabled.

Cheers
