Exactly what does the print to file option do? I thought
that it would put everything necessary in a file so that
you could take that file to a different location and print
it directly on the same printer the output was designed
for. For instance, I want to plot something on a HP
plotter which I do not have. If I install the driver for
the printer, print the job to file, couldn't I take that
file to a place that has a plotter and have it printed?

Thanks

This is one use, which has been partly superseded by pdf files.

Another is to directly check printer output when you're programming and
debugging.
