Well, you likely have to write some sort of native code to communicate with the operating system, which has drivers for the printer.
However, this is probably not easy, and I would think that there are already third party libraries out there that have solved this problem. So google around for solutions that other people have made.

The mind is a strange and wonderful thing. I'm not sure that it will ever be able to figure itself out, everything else, maybe. From the atom to the universe, everything, except itself.

Actually, if you googled around a little bit, you might find that you could access the printer like a file, and simply write text to it directly.
