Dash employed by various printers (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sprint

'dash' is the definition.
(I know that dash can be written as sprint)

'employed by various printers' is the wordplay.
'employed by' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'SPRINT' can be found hidden inside 'various printers'.

(Other definitions for sprint that I've seen before include "Quick dash" , "Short fast race" , "Short race at full speed" , "To make fast progress" , "Run quickly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
