     Files are printed on these devices by the print server, which runs in a
     separate process on the node to which a printer is attached. The print
     server works in conjuction with two components: the prf (print_file)
     command and the print manager (prmgr), which coordinates print requests
     generated via prf with the printer resources provided by prsvr.
