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.

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
