And that's still exactly what it does. Just because it says "Print" doesn't mean it involves a printer. Printing into a memory buffer is still printing.

No. "Printing" in the incorrect sense is a holdover from before there were graphical displays, and printing output meant exactly that. As technology improved "printing" maintained it's use of outputting text as an artifact in programming language, but as Shinmizu says moving something from one portion of memory to an unrelated one is blitting. It's another matter to print to file, but that's not what's happening here.
