Solved icon missing notification continues to print

[rgrcpa]

I am running Windows 7. I have lost an icon on my taskbar. Doesn't seem to impact my computer operations. Therefore, I don't care. BUT, everytime I use my printer, I get a two-line printed message telling me I am missing an icon. How can I stop the message from printing?

What icon?

 

[rgrcpa]

I don't know and I don't care. I just want the printing of the notification to cease.

 

[Ztruker]

If you don't want to provide requested information, that's okay. Makes it tough to be of any help though.

Good luck.

You misunderstand.

What's the matter with you??? I have told you all I have no idea what icon is missing...I don't really care. What I need help with is to stop the missing icon notification from printing on my laser jet every time I print anything. You would think the icon that's missing is the laserjet printer but that has never been a problem before. That icon for the printer is only there after printing. The icon message is that there are no documents pending. Then it goes away. Sounds normal to me.

So please, instead of discussing the icon, please gear the discussion toward stopping the printer from printing the notification out on the printer. Every time it prints, I lse a page of paper.

try rebuilding the icon cache - see if that helps.

If all else fails uninstall any printer drivers and software and reinstall.

That smells like someone put a prank into the system. Is that possible.

 

[Trucidation]

I second what AddRAM suggested, take a look at your printer software.

I refuse to believe the print does only tell that on icon is missing. Two lines, as you tell us, only for that? What is the exact message you get? You need to help us a bit to be able to help you.

Okay. SOme of you think I'm crazy. Two lines, indeed. Well here's a snapshot of the message.

Thanks.

I don't see where it states there's a missing icon in that print off? It's a HTTP GET request for an XML file.

Try going to your printer properties, go to "device settings" then on the "installable options" set the "printer status notification" to disabled.

What? I find your style quite arrogant. "I have a problem, I do not want to give any more information, now solve it and fast!".

Was wondering the same. Not a single word about missing icon.

The OP does not seem to understand that we are volunteers that are trying to help wherever possible. But if they get arrogant, we should just drop dead.

Icon missing notification continues to print

I would recommend to uninstall/ reinstall the drivers. Hope it fix the problem you faced.

Good results

I followed the directions about un-enabling the printer notification in my laserjet. IT WORKED. The printer no longer spits out a two line notice, thereby saving many trees. Thanks.
