SYMPTOMS
========

In Windows NT version 3.1, it was possible to disable event logging for all
printing-related events by using the following Registry entry:

  EventLog
  ========

  Disable Event logging from the Spooler (disabled by default)

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control
     \Print\Providers

     Add Value: "EventLog"

     Data Type: REG_DWORD

     Set the data = 0

This same setting should work under Windows NT version 3.5, but it does not;
printing events are still written to the event log.


STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT Workstation and
Windows NT Server version 3.5. This problem has been corrected in the latest
U.S. Service Pack for Windows NT version 3.5. For information on obtaining the
