... My loathing of the whole user experience that is Windows XP Pro ...
Does anyone know how to stop this bastard OS from popping up a self-congratulatory little message every fucking time I send a document to the printer? Yes, I know the document has been sent to the printer! The printer is eight feet from where I'm sitting. I can hear the document come out of the printer. When I send a document to the printer, I damn well expect it to come out of the printer I sent it to. Don't announce the fact like it's something you should be proud of, you pathetic piece of shit; you never offer a helpful explanation when the document doesn't come out of the printer ...
Gaah!

Sorted now. All I had to do was follow these blindingly obvious steps:
Start->settings->printers & faxes
Right click in the window ? not on a printer.
Server Properties from that menu
Advanced tab, "Show informational notifications for..."
Well, gosh. I just don't know how I never figured that out for myself ...
Cheers!

Sorry, computer gliches/annoyances only count if they involve haunted telephones.

Welcome to the world of an operating system designed by engineers?OF COURSE it's obvious, because it's obvious to them!
That's one of the big differences between Windows and Mac OS X: the Mac only starts shoving dialogs in your face when something goes wrong, but Windows gets terribly excited when it does something right?every time.
