Print to window: Print Preview.
Print to image: export to pdf or jpg or png.
More useful for rich GUI apps than plain old text apps, but the basic
principle is still sound. I recently had a HUGE LibreOffice draw document,
containing a very long mathematical formula, and the only practical way for
me to turn it into an image was by taking 14 screenshots and then merging
them by hand. A working export to PNG command would have been really useful.
