".PRN files are ones created when you use File=>Print and
Print to File. It contains instruction sets and data
formatted for a particular printer language. If it's an
HP printer, for example, you'd need to locate a PCL converter
or viewer to have the content available again, or print
the file then use your scanner and an OCR application
to convert the text back to a document."
"
A .prn file will contain codes for whatever specific printer it was
generated for, so any conversion would be very difficult. If it was a
prn generated for the "generic" text printer in Windows, then it's
just a TXT file, and you can change the file suffix from prn to txt,
and Word will treat it as such.
If all you have is the prn file (and it's not a plain txt file),
you're SOL unless you can find the model printer it is specific to,
and print it out."
