If You are debugging Your program, You can execute:

 yourprogram.exe > debug.txt

and the printf output will be stored to the debug.txt file. 

Another way to write an opengl function, to display your txt on the opengl
screen. Like this: 

void txtout(char *txt) {
  int i;

  for (i=0 ; txt[i]!='\0' ; i++) {
    glutBitmapCharacter(GLUT_BITMAP_HELVETICA_10, txt[i]);
  }
}
