The workaround I´m using right now is the following in a startup script: echo 'X-MATE-Autostart-enabled=false' >> /home/bruker/.config/autostart /print-applet.desktop
The reason I needed to find a workaround is, I manage hundreds of kiosk-PCs in public libraries. When every single user who tries to print something is presented with what looks like an error message popping up on screen after a print, they try again. So almost every print job is sent twice. This workaround works in these cases, since they don´t receive the notification. It´s a poor workaround for other use cases, since the users won't receive notification about low paper, low ink and such. But these users won´t need these types of notifications. The "print-applet.desktop" comes from the package: system-config-printer-gnome -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to system-config-printer in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1656790 Title: print-notifications: Don't show error for job in progress Status in ubuntu-mate: New Status in mate-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in system-config-printer package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Running Ubuntu MATE 16.04.1 LTS Every single time I print something, I get an error notification. Unfortunly, I'm running a Norwegian desktop, so this will be a translation of what I suppose the notification says on an English desktop: Printer error Printer 'NAME':'cups-waiting-for-job-completed' It is a bit annoying, but it disappears after a couple of seconds, when the print job is done. After a bit of Googling, I found this is a known error from earlier, with gnome-settings-daemon. I guess the fix never have been included in mate-settings-daemon ? This is the bug in Red Hat for the same problem: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1207154 This is the patch for gnome-settings-daemon from May 20 2015 : https://mail.gnome.org/archives/commits-list/2015-May/msg03447.html The 'cups-waiting-for-job-completed' is a notification in Cups, which should not be ignored by gnome-settings-daemon.
