Publishing in particular, instead of the more general print, means creating for mass publication workflows usually involving a press. This usually involves pre-print, different outputs options (including spot colors, separate plates for four-color CMYK printing, registration, and color profiles to match or limit display colors to inks), and printing with bleed for trimming. Many of these tools also provide advanced options for typesetting, like wrapping text around images or shapes with specific hyphenation rules, or aligning text on a baseline grid for consistency across pages.
Other tools that can print don't often offer all of these features, or if they do they don't provide as much control over them.
