I remember rich saying so in some topic in here, but would to do something like printing text to the screen, how would I pass it to the correct place/buffer?

for ex. in C++ would I write:

cout
set mipmap mode 1: set matrix texture 1,1,1: set spot light 1,0,90: set normalization on: sync rate 0: statistic(1): flush video memory
autocam off: always active on: hide mouse: set window on

wow!! that didn't come out at all like I just wrote it lol; I don't know what happened. oh well, the question was can I use write in C++:

#include <conio.h>
...
cout << "Press Enter to continue " << '\n';
getch();
...

or would I have to use direct-x?

set mipmap mode 1: set matrix texture 1,1,1: set spot light 1,0,90: set normalization on: sync rate 0: statistic(1): flush video memory
autocam off: always active on: hide mouse: set window on

Are you asking how would you translate that code into DB, or how would you use a dll to run that c++ code?

If you are wanting to write text while DirectX is initialized, COUT won't work. The GDI functions can write to a DirectX window when you pass that window handle.
