You can disconnect your workstation from a printer queue when
you finish using the printer, or when you want to use the devicename
for a different connection.
If a Print Job Fails to Send an End-of-Job Signal |
 |
In some cases, an application may not send an end-of-job signal
that is recognized by the print spooler. Without this signal, the
spooler cannot pass the job to the printer, and the spooler is not
free to accept other jobs.
The prtsc utility solves this problem. The prtsc utility is
a terminate-and- stay-resident (TSR) program. To load this utility,
type:
prtsc
at the command line. To load the utility automatically, include
it in the wrkservices entry and also in the [services] section of
the LANMAN.INI file. For example, if prtsc is included in the wrkservices
entry:
wrkservices = messenger,netpopup,prtsc,encrypt
then the [services] section should include the following:
prtsc = netprog\prtsc.exe
If the workstation has prtsc loaded, you can release the print
job by pressing CTRL+ALT+PRINT SCREEN.
LAN Manager Enhanced workstations also have a time-out
feature that sends an end-of-job signal if no data is sent to the
spooler within a specified time.
