What is print to file? How is the resulting .prn file used?

It prints a document, including all printer formatting codes, to a binary file
on disk. You can later print the file using the DOS command line like this:

copy /b filename.prn prn

You would need to replace "filename.prn" with the name of the file you sent your
document to (you should always save those files with a ".prn" extension, as it
is easier to locate and identify them that way).
