Disabling the network print notification balloon windows in Windows XP SP2

After installation of Windows XP Service Pack 2, a balloon window is displayed every time a print job is sent to a networked printer informing the user that the job has been spooled succesfully. You may wish to disable this option. To disable the network print notification balloon windows in Windows XP SP2:

Use a registry editing tool to navigate to the following key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Printers\Settings

Change the value with the following details:

Data Type: DWORD
Value Name: EnableBalloonNotificationsRemote
Value: 0

Stop and restart the spooler service for the change to take effect
