How to configure notification of completed print jobs

How to configure notification of completed print jobsIf you share a printer that's attached to an XP computer with several others on your network, you can configure XP to notify them when the job is finished - either by sending a message to the user, or by sending the message to the computer from which the print job was sent, even if the user who sent it is currently logged onto a different computer. Here's how:
Click Start Printers and Faxes
Click File Server Properties
Click the Advanced tab
Choose "Show informational notifications for local printers" to notify users when a job is printed on a printer attached to the computer. Choose "show informational notifications for network printers" to notify users of the local computer when a job is printed on a remote computer. Choose "Notify when remote documents are printed" to send a message to the user who sent the print job. Choose "notify computer, not user, when remote documents are printed" to send the message to the computer from which the job was sent, rather than to the user.
