There seems to be no option to print from the IDE (to a printer) , nor is there a regular backup option when writing code AFICS.
Has this been discussed before please ? .
Also selecting a category for a post is very annoying , i cannot type a character and have to scroll through a long list to find the right one.
Grumble I prefer the old forum.
Which version of the IDE are you using ?
2.0.0-rc3

There never has been one. The common advice is to open the sketch in a standard text editor and use that to print it.
Hopefully you aren't transcribing code to dead trees too often, so it shouldn't be too terrible of an inconvenience.
UKHeliBob has already submitted a formal request to the Arduino IDE developers to add this capability here:

I recommend using Git for version control.
Since you will likely want to use a single version control system for all your text-based projects, and since most of us work with several languages, editors, IDEs, build systems, etc., it really doesn't make sense for your code development application to provide version control. With that approach, you are forced to learn and remember the various ways each application implements the very complex tasks of a Git client.
Much better is to use a single standalone Git client, or just use Git directly from the command line if you aren't set on having it wrapped up in a pretty GUI.
I use the combination of command line and the Git Extensions client. Sadly, the otherwise excellent Git Extensions lost cross-platform support a while back and is currently only usable on Windows. But there are quite a few other popular Git clients. You can find a list of some of them here:

Never, except of course in the classic IDE, which is what I believe @Boardburner2 is comparing 2.0 with
