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
