From Jargon File (4.3.1, 29 Jun 2001) [jargon]:
print v. To output, even if to a screen. If a hacker says that a
program "printed a message", he means this; if he refers to printing a
file, he probably means it in the conventional sense of writing to a
hardcopy device (compounds like 'print job' and 'printout', on the other
hand, always refer to the latter). This very common term is likely a
holdover from the days when printing terminals were the norm,
perpetuated by programming language constructs like {C}'s printf(3). See
senses 1 and 2 of {tty}.
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03) [foldoc]:
PRINT
PRe-edited INTerpreter.
An early mathematics language for the {IBM 705}.
