hello people. im back. lol.

Is their any function to print text using the printer?

yep just change the file open dialog to include the doc extn - see code below - you can also add in rtf files too - default app (ie word) opens up file and then prints the selected file then closes again.

#include <File.au3>

$file = FileOpenDialog("Print File", "", "Text Documents (*.txt)|Word Documents (*.doc)", 1)
If @error Then Exit

$print = _FilePrint($file)
If $print Then
    MsgBox(0, "Print", "The file was printed.")
Else
    MsgBox(0, "Print", "Error: " & @error & @CRLF & "The file was not printed.")
EndIf
