10.2;prsvr (print_server), revision 2.0, 89/10/02
prsvr (print_server) - start the print server.
usage:  /sys/hardcopy/prsvr [config_file_name]



DESCRIPTION
     prsvr 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. You must execute this command whenever you start or
     restart the node connected to the printer.  To avoid losing print jobs,
     do not execute the prsvr command at nodes without an attached printer.

ARGUMENTS
     config_file_name
                     The name of the print-server configuration file.

OPTIONS
     None
