ausdrucken vs drucken

to print / shirk

'drucken' and 'ausdrucken' both mean that text or images are put onto paper. 'drucken' is more general: it can refer to a printer at home, a printing press, or even large quantities. 'ausdrucken' is used especially when a digital file from a computer or phone is put onto paper. The words are often confused because both come up in everyday situations with printers. If you need a file, ticket, or form from the screen on paper, 'ausdrucken' sounds very natural.
