No programmer, but if you can view them on a screen, there are numerous copy/paste options. It not, email then to yourself or put the code on google drive?

yes i think you just got to high light the messages, and right click or click around in that message window, and find copy all then paste it into a separate text file, then you can print it out. yes?

You've been using codeblocks for SIX YEARS now...and you haven't read the manual? Their own software guides and wiki tell you how to print, and offer numerous samples on how to configure page size, etc.

Past that, as others have said, you can copy/paste into whatever you want, and print from there.

Ok, so you *WRITE YOUR CODE* to have a print function. So post what you've written, and tell us where you're stuck.

You'll get better answers by asking a better question. From your subsequent post it would seem your question is "how to write to a printer in C or C++"?

If that's correct:
You can write directly to the device by opening it with popen (stdio.h) and then using the standard stream functions but this isn't very portable.

A better approach might be to use the CUPS library. Here's a good place to start:

That is quite a different question than the thread title suggests. You might want to review the Site FAQ pages for help in forming your questions, and in particular the link you will find there to the article How To Ask Questions the Smart Way, which has many good tips!

Good luck!
