I know that most HP printers support connecting on TCP port 9100 and sending plain text to be printed.  Not sure about other brands.  If you want to get fancy, you can look up PJL/PCL to do text formatting.

Of course, this requires you to know the IP address of the printer.  I wouldn't know how to get that programmatically.
