CLHS *PRINT-ESCAPE* says

  If false, escape characters and package prefixes are not output when
  an expression is printed.

and CLHS PRINC-TO-STRING says

  princ-to-string acts like write-to-string with :escape nil :readably
  nil. Thus no escape characters are written.

and CLHS WRITE tells about the mapping between parameters to WRITE and
the *PRINT-FOO* variables.
