Wonder if there's a way to print out your password list

I have long used a Microsoft Excel file to record my passwords in. I update it whenever a password is added or changed. I print out a copy to keep handy for reference when needed. The Excel spreadsheet is password protected, so it can only be opened when I enter the password. Simple and easy to use.

You’re basically using Excel as your password manager, rather than using a purpose-dedicated password manager.
There are scripts available which purport to export passwords from Keychain, yes.
Here’s one:

There’s also this, with some updates for High Sierra and Mojve and recent Safari listed in the comments:

I have not tried any if this. I’d encourage learning about and using a password manager.
Whether the available scripts are secure, and preserve and maintain your passwords appropriately?
You make a good point. For some people a password manager can make their lives less complicated. I have looked at them in the past. My purpose is somewhat different. I only wanted to have a quick reference document I could refer to when needed. It's simple and works for me.

BTW: for website passwords, Safari on Mac can show those passwords directly, though (deliberately) not all at once.

Not from Keychain Access or any other App I'm aware of.
