How can my daughter download stored text messages so that they can be printed?

Hi , if you can, you can also copy/paste the messages and send them to yourself, as an email. If it works, you'll now be able to have an email copy.

Only way I know is to do print screens. SMS messages aren't stored in a location from which downloads are possible.

 

Update based on @Nighthawk reply:  on an iPhone you can also mark the messages in a string, and email them to an email not associated with your Apple ID (or Messages ID). You lose continuity, as the senders names  are not included, but the text is present; each SMS on one line. You can edit the email's content once received to make the information look organized. Thanks, Nighthawk, I learned something new today.

Does your daughter have an iPhone? I know of an app for Mac OS that will let you download and print them all quite easily.
