If you want it to come out (directly) /dev/lp0 (the line printer port) 
just open that and fire away.

Either that stuff it in a file and invoke "lpr fileName" at a later stage.

You can also pipe either stdout to "lpr" or fork and pipe to lpr.

A good reference source if the Linux Documentation Project (ask google) 
and in particular the Linux Programmers Guide.
