Presumably, once on your computer, you could print them out.

As an experiment I wanted to see if I could print a contact directly from my Contacts app on my iPhone, since I can print to my printer from my phone via WiFi here at home. Unfortunately that doesn’t seem to be an option; there are many ways to “share” a contact but not to a printer. I believe that @Whack-a-Mole is correct that they have to be exported out of the app first before you can print them.
