There are a couple of things you could do. I wouldn't recomend stopping _all_ job notifications. I imagine you want to stop only the "your job is done" messages. It doesn't make sense to stop the messages that inform one of an unusual circumstance. An individual Unix user can stop them by setting an environment variable thus: PPR_RESPONDER_OPTIONS="printed=no" export PPR_RESPONDER_OPTIONS Unfortunately, this will only work if ppr (the command) inherits this variable. This means that if you are running X this should be in your X startup. The next version of PPR (which will be out soon) will provide a way to deal with this problem in a simple manner. You can also make this the default for a specific queue by doing this: $ ppad switchset myprn --responder-options="printed=no"
