Your provider may have Web access to your text messages. Check their site > print via browser. Also, txt messages should be stored in a db (database) file somewhere on the phone. Open with Notepad > Copy+Paste to new file > Print. On androids, usually the path is: data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db
You could also try a phone app that backs up txt messages and open with a text editor.
