What is a .prn file?

A .prn file is a printer file that contains instructions for printing text and images. It is generated by a software application and sent to a printer for processing. .prn files are typically created by programs that do not have a dedicated print function, such as older versions of Microsoft Word or Excel. They can also be created by the user selecting the "Print to File" option when printing a document. .prn files can be opened with a text editor and contain formatted text and printing commands. They are primarily used for batch printing or sending print jobs to multiple printers.
