Look into java.awt.PrintJob, but keep in mind that the printing model
has become _much_ more powerful in Java 1.2/2.0 (which JBuilder does
not support if you want to use JBCL).

For this you'll want to send data directly to the printer port; look
into javax.comm or open a FileOutputStream on the desired port/device.
