They must have forgotten that, because there was a print function in QuickBasic 4.x.Not as much that it was forgotten. Life was a lot simpler while QuickBASIC was king -- a lot, as far as printers were concerned. There was no such thing as USB. It was before manufacturers made things more difficult than they needed to be and people demanded out of line-printer and dot-matrix territory into laser-printer high quality. If we still had to deal in the majority with dot-matrix printers then QB64(PE) would have had a print function in its IDE a long time ago.
Galleon and his supporters were still cool enough to come up with a graphics printing job that could be appreciated.
Dimster made a point which could be developed further into a program that reads source code and just uses "LPRINT" to print each line, careful to decorate the pesky CHR$(34).
