Hint 1: Clip out a small piece of code you having a problem with and send

Makes it a lot easy to give a good answer.

You could do things like...
FILE * stdprn;
main() {
 stdprn = fopen( "/dev/lp0", "w");

And it will head for the line printeer port on your machine.

If you want it spooled or sent to a remote printer you have to be more 
sophisticated.

You may have to chmod o+rwx /dev/lp0 for the above simplistic trick to 
work.
