I just double-checked: There is no PRN: device in CP/M, either,
although the assembler produces its listings with a .PRN extension.

The logical printer device is known as LST: and the physical printer
is known as LPT:.

However, the (non-existant?) PIP command implements a virtual device
called PRN: which is the same as LST: except that tabs are expanded
to 8 columns, lines are numbered and there a page break every 60 lines.

E.g.:

   STAT LST:=LPT:               assign logical to physical device
   PIP PRN:=GAME.PRN            print the result of "ASM GAME"
   PIP LST:=GAME.PRN[nt8p60]    same as previous command
