I'm new at python. I know the code to print a text file to the printer but how do you print a variable or text within your program? Thank you.

The following code prints a text file called "hello.txt"

import os

os.startfile("hello.txt", "print")

But how do you print just a word or variable from within the program?

This page in the link might help;

Thank you!

I actually went to that link and ran the code and got an error message.

>>> variable = "Hello, world!"
>>> print(variable)
Hello, world!

Only way I know to print variables or output text to a printer is to write it to a text file then print the text file through the method you show above.
