It may not be a good solution, but you could delete the
'destop-printing' package from this user's computer.  That will
eliminate the notifications and should not actually impact his ability
to print.

I recall a number of years ago there were problems with this package,
causing eggcups to pound on print servers under certain circumstances.
 When we ran a distributed print server here the administrator always
asked us to simply remove the desktop-printing package from
workstation installs.
