Auto-close print queue windows after my job finishes?

Whenever I print something, a window for the printer opens up showing me the current print queue. That's great. What's not-so-great is me having to keep on closing those windows after they open.

Is there a way for those windows to close themselves after my print job finishes?

Thanks.

Use Auto Quit in the proxy's dock menu (click and hold the mouse on the printer in the dock) to close the application after printing. If this does not work, you may have to delete and re-add the printer, and then select Auto Quit.

Hope this helps.

Thanks! (I haven't actually tested it yet, but I did bring the printer up in the dock and set the "Auto-Quit" function, so it at least seems plausible that it will work.)

Perhaps a new low in Apple UI design: an option -only- accessible via a Dock Menu?
