The printf statements do not print newlines, those must be explicit when using printf. So it prints a bunch of things into one long line, then uses print "" to finish off the line.

Are you sure that's OFS,$i and not OFS $i ? Two things into a single %s is a syntax error as far as I know.
It isn't a syntax error, but it isn't common. The awk printf command:
Code:
printf "%s" OFS,$i

uses the concatenation of "%s" and OFS as a format string; together they print the contents of the ith input field followed by the output field separator. If there is a bug here, it is that there is an extraneous trailing field separator printed at the end of each output line before the <newline> added by the print x command.
