Supplementing CarloM's reply, here is something that can be found in the GNU awk's manual.

Quote:
The difference between printf and print is the format argument. This is an expression whose value is taken as a string; it specifies how to output each of the other arguments.
The print statement separates the fields using the char determined by OFS, whereas, in printf the format is specified as a format string.
