SUMMARY
The PRTSC.EXE utility is a terminate-and-stay resident (TSR) program used to flush the print spooler when an application has failed to send an end-of-job signal. After executing PRTSC.EXE, you flush the spooler by pressing CTRL+ALT+PRINT SCREEN.

Like any TSR, PRTSC.EXE must be loaded before the NET START workstation and LOAD NetBEUI commands; if it isn't, the NET STOP workstation command does not work properly. If you sometimes need to stop your workstation in the course of your work, do not install PRTSC.EXE as a service (as the &quot;Microsoft LAN Manager Installation and Configuration Guide,&quot; suggests on page 96).

Some shareware utilities such as Mark and Release let you load TSRs after NET START WORKSTATION and release them before stopping the workstation.
