I have been fighting this for a while now. &nbsp;I am trying to disable print notification for networked printers on all Windows 7 desktops in a domain. &nbsp;I don't think there is a way to do this directly in the GPO, so I made a registry key that sets HKLM\System\currentcontrol<wbr />set\contro<wbr />l\print\pr<wbr />oviders\Ne<wbr />tpopup to a value of 0 and have deployed that through a GPO. &nbsp;I can see it is taking effect on the workstation by looking at the registry key, but the printer notification balloons keep popping up. &nbsp;Is this key not used in Windows 7 even though it exists?<br />
<br />
How else can this be accomplished? &nbsp;I don't want the users to have to modify the properties on the local print server to uncheck the box for notifications if I can avoid it.

Disable print notification for Windows 7 via registry

Windows 7 is an operating system from Microsoft. Features include multi-touch support, a redesigned Windows Shell with a new taskbar, referred to as the Superbar, a home networking system called HomeGroup, and performance improvements.
