What is "print to file"

I see it all the time but I have never used it. What is it?

Rather than print to the printer itself, you can save the output to a file instead. For example, if I was at a command (DOS) prompt in WinXP, and wanted to do a 'dir' to see the contents of a folder "C:\stuff", but wanted to save it as a file rather than print a hard copy, I could issue the DOS command:
'dir c:\stuff\*.* >c:\stuff.txt ' and it would save the directory command output to a file named 'stuff.txt'
