Play a sound notification when printing is complete

I have a printer which prints automated jobs. The environment is loud and the printer is quiet. I would like to play a sound when a print job completes so people in the area are aware.

In Windows XP there is a sound effect for "Printing Complete". However this does not work after SP2. It is a known issue but no work around is posted. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/952885/

Hmm i would think this is a registry mod if anything so i would try looking here.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\

Try right clicking on the DWORD value 'BeepEnabled' and changing its value to 1.

But i think this may just be for printing errors but still try it.

Tried about everything including registry entries. In the end I wrote an app to monitor the print queue and perform an action when a job is posted.
