Use a pen and paper.

Questions of the form "How can I do X without using Y", where Y is the
obvious way to do X, are almost invariably homework.

We must do something. This is something. Therefore, we must do this.

printf() is not in-built in the C language. There's no portable answer
to your question. Under _certain_ systems, you may be able to print to
the display by writing character code values into the video memory, but
ask further questions in this regard to more system specific groups.

printf( ) isn't an inbuilt function call. It's just a function call.

If you don't want to use printf, use vprintf or vfprintf or puts or putchar
or putc or fputc or even fwrite. None of these are inbuilt function calls.

What's wrong with printf, anyway? Don't you like it?

Yes, it is. It's defined in the ISO C Standard, which: "specifies the
form and establishes the interpretation of programs written in the C
programming language."

You could use the putc macro if there is one,
but in order to ensure that putc is a macro
and that it also does not make a call to a built in function,
you would also need a genie.

You could use FORTRAN.

Write an assembly module.

Not for freestanding implementations .

It depends on what you mean by 'print'. The following program:

#error Hello, world!

will generate a diagnostic when compiled with a conforming C compiler;
this diagnostic may quite possibly meet your definition of 'print'.
