What does 'print to file' mean?
From MS Word Help, which you probably could have looked up yourself: If you want to print your document at a much higher resolution than what's available on your desktop printer, you can select a different printer in the Print dialog box, format your document, print your document to a file, and take the file to a computer connected to the printer you selected, such as a service bureau. A printer file saves the necessary information from your document so that line and page breaks and font spacing remain the same. Any printer that uses the same printer language (for example, PostScript) can print the file and match the output from your computer, provided that the fonts used in the document are available on the printer. Also, when you use a printer file, you can print your document from a computer that doesn't have Word installed.

A .prn file is about the most useless file type Microsoft have come up with. Windows programmes allow you to 'print to a file' but then give you no way of actually doing anything with the file. If your printer was a PostScript type, then it might be possible to convert the .prn file to a .pdf by renaming it as .ps instead of .prn and running it though a programme such as ghostscript.
