    Sure.

     

    First of all, you need a printer that communicates to your iPhone.  Hopefully it is an AirPrint printer:

    To print the message, capture it as a screen shot.  View the message, and briefly press the home and on/off buttons together.  Then find the resulting photo in Camera Roll, and print it.

    There's no way to do it directly to printer through/via AirPrint? Some of the messages are too long. I can't believe Apple doesn't include a print option for iMessages/texts/SMSes? Other apps like e-mails are fine to the printer.
