I am running Windows XP Pro and whenever I print a docuemnt, regardless of
the application, a small dialog window will open in the lower right hand
corner of the desktop informing me that a document has been sent to the
printer. Most of the time this is no problem but I cannot do anything else
while that window is open and I have to touch it to get it to close. Is
there anything that I can do to supress this window from opening???

The dialog box you see is just an info box, is pretty annoying though had it
set myself for a while. To stop this from appearing if you go into control
panel. Then double click faxes and printers icon.

Then when the window opens click "File" on the toolbar at the top then click
"server properties".

When the server properties window opens click the advanced tab and uncheck
the boxes that say:

"show informational notifications for local printers"
and
"show informational notifications for network printers"

Should solve your problem
