never used that module, but it could fit for you problem :-)
 
"""
win32print.WritePrinter

int = WritePrinter( hprinter, buf )
Copies the specified bytes to the specified printer. Suitable for copying 
raw Postscript or HPGL files to a printer. StartDocPrinter and 
EndDocPrinter should be called before and after. Returns number of bytes 
written to printer.
"""

that module is part of "win32all". the module has of course all the 
functions to open a printer etc.
