you should use PrinterJob

This is what Java provides as API for such cases. Here is a small code snippet to get you started:

PrinterJob printerJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
printerJob.setPrintable(new CustomPrintable("DATA TO PRINT"));
boolean printOK = printerJob.printDialog();
if (printOK){} 
    try {
        printerJob.print();
    }
    catch (PrinterException e){
        // Error
    }
}

I just realized I forgot to mention how to connect to you printer, here is a usefoul link

thanks for your answer, where I give the name of the printer? – lucky kurniawan Apr 22 '16 at 08:14
`PrintService printService = PrintUtility.findPrintService(printerName);` works for me :). Check the link I have given you . – Borislav Stoilov Apr 22 '16 at 09:46

You need to map the printer then. Do a google search about it. – Borislav Stoilov Apr 22 '16 at 10:24
