SYMPTOMS
When you have the alert service started on a Print Server, you may
receive messages at the wrong computer when you print, if you are
logged onto more than one machine.
CAUSE
The user who sent the print job is identified by the user name used to
logon (for example, if you logged on as domain\administrator, then the
NetPopup is sent to administrator). Because this is a NetBIOS name,
only one unique name is registered on the network, even if you are
logged onto more than one computer.
Consequently, if you are logged onto two computers, when you print
from either computer, the NetPopup message is sent to the first
computer you logged on to.
