Not natively. There is a program called Syphone that will extract your texts from the backup file and allow you to save them. From there you can print.

Thanks. I'm not a techie, so would you mind letting me know where/how do I get this program, and.... what backup file?

oki - just found syphone, but it says it's for use with a mac os, and i'm a window user. ado you know if there's anything like it for windows?

each time you sync to iTunes, a backup of data on the phone is made. The program mentioned can read those backup files to find your SMS messages. So to be more clear, it will only be able to see SMS messages since your last sync to iTunes.

Wish I could help out more, but I cannot.
However, a good question somebody may be able to answer here is, "Where are the Backups stored when you sync?"

I am not sure of the file stucture it may be making, but there may be a chance that they could be files you can read manually without the help of software. I just don't know (just depends on what a backup really looks like).
