Hello,

There is class TextPrinter.

Try

printer := TextPrinter new.
printer bestColor.
printer printText: 'your text'.

TextPrinter creates Form instance and print it by some primitive. Therefore you can print any form and morph:

printer := TextPrinter new.
printer bestColor.
   
aMorph imageForm
        primPrintHScale: printer resolution x vScale: printer  resolution y landscape: printer  landscape.


I test it on Windows.
