How can I write a letter & print it out on my computer?

I just want to write an occasional letter (or maybe send a recipe to someone). I don't want to buy a program for this as I won't use it much. My arthritis hinders me from writing things in longhand these days, but I can still 2-finger type on the comp.

Is there some FREE service that would allow me to type out something, attach my laptop to my printer (it's not a wireless printer) and send it off? E-mail doesn't help as the folks to whom I want to send things don't have computers. (Old fogies like me, but at least I try to keep current.)

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Use WordPad

    it is a basic word processor that is already built into windows.

    you will find it in the accessories folder

    on the all programs list.

    or if you want something a bit more advanced,

    then use Libre > http://www.libreoffice.org/

    to connect the printer.

    read the manual.
