Printer Not Ready Error

[Guest]

We are printing labels on a Sato printer. In between
printing each label a window opens with the 'Printer Not
Ready' error message. This window used to stay minimized
so that it didn't interfere with other applications that
were in use, but now it displays on top of the open
application window. Is there a way to either stop the
error from ocurring or at least to have the message window
stay minimized so that it doesn't interfere with the open
app? I have tried increasing the timeout but that has not
helped. The user says that the error has always occurred
but just started being the window on top. Thanks for any
suggestions.

You can change a registry key so this dialog is not displayed.


1.. Start Registry Editor (Regedit.exe) and locate the following subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Provider
2.. Edit the following information:
Value Name: RetryPopup Data Type: REG_DWORD Value: 0 to disable popup; 1
to enable popup (default is 1 on Win2k , 0 on XP)

The ability to change the timeout for a serial port was removed in Windows
NT 4.0 Service Pack 5.

This warning message cannot be disabled on Windows XP, but is less annoying
anyway, as it is a balloon tip in the taskbar.
