10.0;prsvr (print_server), revision 1.0, 88/01/21
prsvr (print_server) - start the print server.
usage:  /sys/hardcopy/prsvr [config_file_name] [-n name]



DESCRIPTION
     prsvr is the command that starts the print server process, which handles
     the processing of files submitted by the print manager for printing.
     Print servers determine the print parameters and send print requests to a
     selected printer. The are bound to the print managers in the print-server
     configuration file.

     Print servers are started (typically as a background task) by executing
     the prsvr command. -n specifies the name of the printer configuration
     file that defines the printer and its print parameters. You must execute
     this command whenever you start or restart the node connected to the
     printer.  To avoid losing print files already queued, do not execute the
     prsvr command at nodes without an attached printer.

                     specified in the print server configuration file.
