Probably, if you Google for it.

Tell us, which Operating System and C++ compiler you are using?
It will help others to suggest you an easy solution.

I already googled, didnt find anything.

can i just like windows , call system(print watever..)


how it works in linux?

FILE * fpPrint; // file handle for printing
fpPrint = fopen( "PRN:" ); // open the printer port
fprintf( fpPrint, "testing" ); // write to the printer
fclose( fpPrint ); // close the printer port

this code aint enough

The simplest way to print something in Linux would be to load it into an existing application and use it's print function - it allready has the code to do that.
