Disable Print Job Notification in Event Viewer (Windows NT/2000/XP)
Category: Home > Hardware > Printers and Plotters
By default Windows NT server adds an entry in the event log for every print job occurring on the spooler. This can quickly fill up the event log with redundant information.
To disable this function, change the DWORD value for EventLog to "0".
