How to print text

I haven't been doing much crafting for a while and I seem to have forgotten most of what I knew. I want to print a message (not write it) to go on an insert in a card. The registration marks are on, I've typed the message, filled the text with colour and sent it to the printer but the preview only shows the registration marks on an otherwise blank page. What am I missing? I'll be very grateful if someone can point me in the right direction.

Go to the Line Style options, make sure the text in your design that you want printed are selected, then tick the box labelled 'Print Lines of Selected Shapes'.

Thank you Brian, especially for the speed of your response. I tried Googling it but nothing I found mentioned ticking the Print Lines box and it's so long since I printed from S.S. that I had completely forgotten it. Very grateful.
