Thank you! This was the only place I could find a solution. I trie
Microsoft but I guess the error message wasn't specific enough. Thank
for your help!

Is there a better way to do this for large numbers of workstations
rather than having to go to each machine and make that change?

I have the same problem. 100 users would like the printer notification to go
away, is there a Group Policy setting that can change this rather than going
around to 100 stations?

According to someone who knows about setting Group Policy just set this
regkey in your policy.

Change to 0

HKey_Current_User\Printers\Settings\EnableBalloonNotificationsLocal
