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.
