What is a prn file?

A PRN file is a file created by a printer driver that contains the data to be printed by a printer. It is often used to store a print job that has been sent to a printer but has not yet been printed. PRN files can contain a variety of data, including text, images, and formatting instructions.

PRN files are typically generated when a user selects the "Print to file" option in a printing menu. This option allows the user to save a copy of the print job as a PRN file rather than sending it directly to the printer.

PRN files can be opened and printed by sending them to a printer using the "print" command in Windows or by using a program that can interpret and print PRN files.

Overall, PRN files are useful for saving print jobs for later use or for troubleshooting printer issues. However, they are not commonly used for everyday printing tasks.
