Kimzi,

I did not have any luck with your method, but we were able to get it to work by another method.  Following the steps in this pdf, we were able to disable the Bi-Directional Job Notification via a xml file, config file and registry update.  We are now able to add the registry update as part of the batch file that installs all the LPRs and not have to worry about manually turning off the Job Notification on all of them.

Thanks for all your help and time you spent on this.

Hi again!

Sorry for the late answer, I have not had the time.

try going to :

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\SNMPTRAP]

It could be a "start" file in both SNMP and SNMPTRAP, change both to:
"Start"=dword:00000004

This will disable both, and then you can export this to a regfile.

you could also add this directly to the bat file I think, by writing something like this:

REG add "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\SNMPTRAP" /v Start /t REG_DWORD /d 4 /f

Here are the ones you can choose from:

Automatic - 2
Manual - 3
Disabled - 4
Automatic (Delayed Start) - 2

Hope it helps!

Best Regards

Thanks for your reply Kimzi. I'm a little confused on what the registry entry would do. I looked at mine and it has:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\SNMP\Parameters]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\SNMP\Parameters\ExtensionAgents]
"MCVSSNMP"="SOFTWARE\\McAfee\\SystemCore\\VSCore\\MCVSSNMP"
"W3SVC"="Software\\Microsoft\\W3SVC\\CurrentVersion"

What would tell it to disable the Xerox tracker? Do I need to set something in my registry first?

Thanks you,
Brian

Hi again, Brian!

That is correct, you will need to turn it off on every computer.

Or if you do know something about the registry editor, you could probably export a reg file from the computer with the correct settings and then import the registry to the other computers.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SNMP\Parameters]

Export the settings to a reg file, and then write a script to install this while stopping the snmp-service, and when done enabling it again..

something like this:

a file named snmp.bat with these lines:

net stop "SNMP Service"
regedit /s regfilenametoexecute.reg
net start "SNMP Service"

If you do have a server and the users do use remote logins, you could also change this in the group policy.

Hope it helps!

Best Regards

Thanks for explaining this to me Kimzi. It does let me know that since I have added many local printers (LPR) that are not network printers and do not go through a print server, but instead directly to the printer, that I would have to set it on every single LPR on each of the computers. I was hoping this could be done via the command line, but it doesn't sound like that's possible.

Thank you,
Brian

Hey you!

You could change the settings on the server and then push it out to the clients if needed? Or ask them to re-add the printer when you've done the change.

Kimzi, I am am assuming that "turn it off in the driver" means I would have to do to all 83 LPR's, or is there a different way? Is there a command line command to do this? Like the screenshot posted in previous posts, I don't want to have to do this manual step for every LPR on every PC that has them installed. Thank you in advance for your help. - Brian

Hey you!

You will have to turn it off in the driver.

Best Regards

Is there any way to turn off the Job Tracker at the physical printer level instead of at the LPR level?  We have a Xerox Color 1000 Press.  This would save me from having to turn it off for 83 LPRs on each computer and server.
