Right justification with proportional fonts in a printer is best done by the
printer.  You will have to find out what the escape codes are for setting
left and right margins and for selecting right justification, and embed these
in your text.

If your printer does not support right justification, it will be a real "bear"
to implement, because the printer drive will have to know exactly how wide
each character is.
