<b>People,</b>

My HP Deskjet 940c's Icon in the Tray is always blinking, so as to inform me it's time to change my printer's ink cartridges. Trouble is...it starts blinking 5 minutes after I install a new cartridge.

Is it possible to shut this thing off? It's driving me nuts (I looked around in the HP Toolbox; & couldn't seem to find a setting.)

Thanks very much,

Try running "msconfig" and unload the HP program from the startup list.

<b>Woodman,</b>

Good point (wish I'd thought of it.) I guess that's my only recourse, as I looked through all the printer settings & couldn't find anything relevant.

Thanks,
