I mean you could. It would be slower more expensive and less practical than inkjet or laser printing, but there is nothing keeping you from fixing a piece of paper in the 3d printer and have it "write" on it with the molten plastic.
See...I was imagining you'd 3D print the whole thing: paper with text
This but mirror image it then put ink on it and press it on to paper.
Print the text as holes in a sheet and spray paint it onto the paper
Well hey then you have a 3D photocopier.
