> in console application, printf sends the string to screen

That is not entirely accurate.  The printf() function sends the string to
STDOUT.  If you happen to run the application from a command prompt without
any redirection, then the console screen will be the STDOUT.  If, however,
you run the application and redirect its output to somewhere else, then
STDOUT will go to that new destination, ie:

    // outputs to the console screen
    C:\>  myapp

    // outputs to the standard printer
    C:\>  myapp > prn

> how can I send them to printer ?

If you want to output to the printer regardless of redirection, then you'll
just have to access the printer directly.
