What's the difference between sprint and bprint?
Also, what's the difference between PRINT_LOW, PRINT_MEDIUM, PRINT_HIGH?

sprint prints to one client, bprint (broadcast print) prints to all clients
as for the other stuff, they're QW-only, some priority thing. I'll just make up a guess answer. HIGH probably gets sent reliably, LOW probably won't be resent if the packet is lost. And the clients can probably filter messages by type, so if you don't want your screen spammed by LOW messages, you can filter them out.

Sajt: All are sent reliably, but! Clients can set their message level to filter out what messages they see...This actually saves on bandwidth, the server doesn't actually send the prints if the messagelevel is known to be above the print priority.

those prints are filtered based on the client's 'msg' cvar/userinfo.
set msg 0 and you get all the annoying spam.
0:pickups (you got the nails! yay! woot!)
1:deaths (haha you died!)
2:game ends (rofl, you got pwned again!)
3:chat (rofl at you loosing yet another game!)
ahh, msg 4. peace.
