Why?
Almost all mobile phone users have a misunderstanding area is that they think the messages are saved in the external SD card, but actually they are always kept in the phone itself or SIM card. That means you can't transfer, export or copy data from these areas to your computer via a simple USB cable due to access restrictions.

How to Print Samsung Galaxy Text Messages on Computer
Tips: You must avoid the data from being overwritten. To do this, the Samsung phone should not be used for any update, which will wipe off the missing files forever. What "update" means here is any new content added to the device, including photos , videos, audios and so forth.
Step 1 Connect your Samsung Device to the PC
Launch the program and the main window looks like below. Now connect your device to the computer via USB.
Step 2 Enable USB Debugging for Samsung

Follow the tips shown in the program according to your Android OS version:
1) Android 2.3 or earlier users: Go to "Settings" < "Applications" < "Development" < "USB debugging".
2) Android 3.0 to 4.1 users: Go to "Settings" < "Developer options" < "USB debugging".
3) Android 4.2 or newer users: Enter "Settings" < "About Phone". Press "Build number" for several times until you are informed that "You are under developer mode". Then go back to"Settings" < "Developer options" < "USB debugging".
Tick off the items you don't need and leave "Contacts" checked. This is a design to save you time.
