How have you always done that?

There is no print option.

If you have a macOS computer, see -> How to forward SMS/MMS text messages from your iPhone to your iPad, iPod touch or Mac -> Forward SMS/MMS text messages from your iPhone to your Mac or iPad – Apple Support (UK)

 

or you can Use Messages on your Mac.

It is not possible to a Windows OS computer.

If you want to print text message:

If you have a macOS, see the Apple articles below:

From the Mac, you can just copy and paste the text into Pages then print it out, or Save as . . .

Finder -> Apps -> Messages -> select a messages -> copy -> paste to xxx.

If you have multiple messages, you must select, copy & paste per message.

 

You can also use a 3rd party app (for macOS and Windows OS), such as iMazing.

It's a paid app.

There are also other 3rd party paid apps available.
