I think the difference (one difference) is that you can typically see a lot
more code at once when it's printed out. This may be less true in today's
world of large, high resolution monitors. Still... I can comfortably lay out
four printed pages in front of me on a desk, each with 60+ lines. That's 240
lines of code in one view. I find that helps my comprehension considerably.
