#  Has anybody seen any device drivers for DEC printers?  We have a couple that
#  are being used around the net, but I had to fool prsvr into thinking that they
#  are GE printers.  None of the other supported device drivers will work on the
#  DEC LA100s for some reason.  The main problem with the GE driver is that it
#  sends only LF's to the printer, not CR/LF.  This can be fixed after prsvr has
#  started and has printed the first couple lines with 'tctl -line # -cvt_nl',
#  but this never seems to work, unless typed by hand. ( The server hasn't had
#  time to start by the end of startup.xxx script, thus the tctl command dies
#  because the file /dev/sio# is in use. After prsvr has been initialized,
#  the command works fine (ie sit there and type it in by hand every time).
----------------------------

I would suggest the following line in your startup file:
cps /com/sh -n <taskname> tctl -line <n> -cvt_nl;prsvr /sys/print/<config_file>
