Changing the Printer Status Notification did work, but I had to power off the printer, then power it back on for it to take.
Changing the notification caused no behavior change UNTIL I powered off and on.
In Win 7, this is
Customize your printer,
Device Settings
Printer Status Notification: Change to Disabled.
OK (not just Apply)
Power off Printer
Power on Printer.
Try it now.

Ive read all the messages about this problem and I still cant get mine fixed. I have a HP 2320 and I just installed software for a HP Pro 200 Color M251nw and started having this problem! they are both using PCL6. When I go in to the device settings for the 2320 (which is where the message is being printed out), I cant change the "printer status notifications" which is set at enabled. Its light colored, not black, and when you click on it you get nothing. You cant change it. The new 200 already has that disabled.
So how do I fix this? Im wasting tons of paper! HELP!!!

I have the same problem. I just spent over 1.5 hours last night with a HP person in control of my computer, busily replacing drivers, for each component of the laserjet 1536 dnf multifunction machine, then updating the firmware. At the end, the same error persisted. She had been very patient, worked very hard at it, but ultimately told me it HAD to be in the operating system, and gave me a number for Microsoft. Before she had done her work, the fix many people have said worked, did NOT, for me: under Devices and Printers (Windows 8.1), specific printer right clicked, Printer Properties, Device Settings, Printer Status Notification switched to disabled. But since she serviced the printer and the software, that option is grayed out. I have yet to set aside the time to consult Microsoft. But if anyone has other ideas, I would greatly appreciate it. djhmd22

Turning off notification worked for me but to get past the 'greyed out' issue I had to provide admin credentials at the first printer screen:
(Win7Pro)
Start
Devices and Printers
Right-Click the printer
Printer Properties
There was a new button called 'Change Properties' at the botton with a UAC shield, click that
provide Admin credentials
now the Notification option is available to disable.

Turning off the disable notification worked for me the second time. It did not work the first. I think I neglected to hit the "apply" button to apply the fix. On the second try, I hit the apply button and it is fixed. Good luck. I know this is a pain in the butt and a waste of paper.
