Printing info bubble

[Guest Dab]

Hi I have a driver on a print server which functions correctly. The other day

I changed a setting so it would duplex on both sides. Since when I print from

a client to that driver I get and info bubble appear in the bottom right hand

corner of my screen on the client PC. Does anybody know why and how to remove

it?

 

The bubble says:

This document was sent to the printer

Document Name: Microsoft word-Test.doc

Printer Name:\\xxxxxxx\HP 9050-pcl6

Time: xx:xx

Total Pages: 1

 

Thanks

on the client go to control panel/printers and faxes (open it).

In the File menu click on Server Properties and go to the Advanced tab.

Uncheck the box Notify when remote documents are printed.

If Olaf's suggestion doesn't work, it may be due to a system process

running in the background and HPs are notorious for this. Go to

Control Panel > Admin Tools > Services.

 

Look for a service or two services called PML DRIVER HPZ12, set them

to disabled, and stop them. We have 9040s here and the driver

installed TWO services that I can see. Some older HP models install

one service.

 

Additionally, open Control Panel > Printers. Right-click and do a

Properties on the printer. Go to the Advanced tab and click the Print

Processor. HP drivers hijack this all the time and it works in tandem

with the two services (PML Driver) that run in the background and pop

up the annoying bubble. If it's set to anything other than Winprint,

set it back to Winprint, click Apply and then OK. You should not have

to reboot for the changes to take effect but try printing now. Let me

know how it goes.

Do the changes have to be made on each client or can this be done on the

server so the clients need not be touched?

Yes, I would recommend it on the server but if the clients have the

same driver set as the server, the clients will still likely pop up

the annoying box. The only way to know for sure is to give it a try.
