The Problem if you just output the scripts (thats what the admin_print_scripts
is for) is that you may end up having the same Javascriptfile included multiple times, which can lead to errors on your page.
If you use the wp_enqueue_script()
WordPress checks if the requested Javascriptfile is already in the Queue, and what dependencies it relies on, so that they are included in the right order.
The admin_print_scripts
should only be used to output the data.
There are a few ways to make the same things work (you could also hardcode the include into your files – but do not do that) – but you should always do it in the way it is suggested by WordPress – to ensure future compatibility and everything else WordPress offers.
