Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently derived from combining 'print' (an image or artwork reproduction) with 'seller' (someone who sells goods); this follows the regular noun+noun compounding pattern in English and is readily inferable by a B1 learner who knows both words. There is no idiomatic or metaphorical shift in meaning, and the construction is cross-linguistically common and predictable.
Etymology
The noun print seller names someone who sells prints: pictures made in many copies by printing. A seller is a person or shop that sells them, so the phrase simply means someone who sells etchings, engravings, and other printed artworks.
