What I want to do is that when a print button is pressed in my program  the printer should start printing the screen. If someone know how to do this, please tell me.

Do you want to print what's actually on the screen or just text?

Hi!
Look at
bmap_for_screen (BMAP*, var modify, var delay);
Hope this helps! Ottawa  Ver 7.86.2 Pro and Lite-C

add to top:
#include <windows.h>
long WINAPI ShellExecute(long hwnd ,long lpOperation ,long lpFile ,long lpParameters ,long lpDirectory ,long nShowCmd);
call:
file_for_screen("printfile.jpg",0);
wait(-2);//it could be better if you check file exists or not instead of waiting 2 secs
ShellExecute(0,"print","printfile0.jpg","","",1);
this will show user a print dialog where they can choose printer, paper etc. and it will print your file. here is a complete test script. press space to trigger printing(press only once.)
#include <acknex.h>
#include <default.c>
#include <windows.h>
long WINAPI ShellExecute(long hwnd ,long lpOperation ,long lpFile ,long lpParameters ,long lpDirectory ,long nShowCmd);
TEXT* test = {
red = 0;
green = 0;
blue = 0;
font = "Arial#18b";
string = "Print from the engine!";
flags = SHOW | CENTER_X;
pos_x = 100;
pos_y = 20;
}
void print_screen(){
file_for_screen("printfile.jpg",0);
wait(-2);
ShellExecute(0,"print","printfile0.jpg","","",1);
}
void main(){
vec_set(screen_color,vector(255,255,255));
video_set(200,60,0,0);
on_space = print_screen;
}

I do not know what does that mean but this does not look like it is related to printing see if removing this line:
file_for_screen("printfile.jpg",0);
will stop giving error(printing wont work obviously.)

Yeah the error is gone but as you said, it won't print, are you sure that I should call the function form main()? because if I set a 3d model to SHOW it starts to flick.
The actual code looks like this:
void print_screen(){
wait(-2);
ShellExecute(0,"print","printfile0.jpg","","",1);
reset(map_3d,INVISIBLE)
}
void main()
{
video_mode = 8; // run at 1024 x 768 pixels
video_screen = 1;
handle = media_loop("TheOne.mp3",NULL,50);
mouse_map = arrow;
mouse_mode = 4;
execute_program();
on_space = print_screen;
}
