No. I'm not offended, but a little surprised. Asking a question like 'how does one convert the 1's and 0's to a printed image' is sort of like asking 'what chemical reactions enable film to be processed and printed'?
Sure the question is an honest question. But there are reams of books, other printed information, and online that all explain the process (both digital and film). To ask the question here seems to imply (at least to me) that the other avenues to gathering knowledge haven't been explored. Even a basic Intoduction to Photography book that was released in the last five years would have a chapter, probably telling you as much or more than you would want to know. The process has not changed much in 5 years. Assuming you want a non-technical answer it would be 'the same way you printed images from film, just take the media to your photo processor'. I guess my point is, that the information is already available out there for you, in a far more concise, accurate, and complete form, than the answers you might receive from asking a mailing list.
