Computer Science students often have to turn in a digital and printed copy of their code for lab assignments. Also, some developers just prefer to have a physical copy in front of them when they're figure out why something isn't working.
Unfortunately, many IDEs don't allow you to print out your code. The ones that do tend to put headers and footers on and/or don't allow you to customize the font and font size used. I was trying to print out some code in Eclipse and I had to go change the IDE's overall font size in order to make the code actually readable.

So, it's a very specific use case.
