Van Hout beschikte over een drukkerij: sedert 1577 was er een stadsdrukkerij geïnstalleerd op het stadhuis onder zijn beheer, en voor een belangrijk deel door hem gedreven. De aanleiding tot dit stadsbedrijf was het besluit op advies van Van Hout, om de oude keuren en costumen, de stukken uit de archieven der opgeheven kloosters en stichtingen, het archief der stad dat, in een toestand van volslagen verwaarloozing verkeerende, door Van Hout als eerste moderne archivaris geordend en grootendeels gecopieerd was, door uitgave in druk te bewaren voor het nageslacht, ter kennisse ende onderrechtinge."
