Alan,

You should have documentation for your printer that explains how to print to
it programmatically. I don't know that specific printer, but for the ones
I've used I've just sent a stream out a serial port to printers using
control codes specific to the printer for printing barcodes, formatting,
etc. Some used a direct serial cable and some used Bluetooth for the
connection.

Alternatively there is also a 3rd party product that is popular called
PrinterCE from FieldSoft.
