You can use CSS media queries to hide elements while printing.

Based upon the somewhat scanty description:

If you're working on the client side when you click the button. Once you are at the client, the easiest control is via javaScript: give your textbox an ID and set it's visibility='hidden'; when your print event is through (or whenever it is appropriate), restore with visibility='visible';

If the printing is calling php on the server, you can capture the contents of the textbox in a session variable (for example) and then make it go away via AJAX. Then, you restore the textbox in any number of ways (even refreshing the page) and restore the text from the session variable.

It all depends upon what you are doing to print.
