I would recommend the TextPrint class, see thread, one of the benefits is it inherits the .Net PrintDocument so if you don't want to use the default printer you can just set a different like this before calling Print:

tp.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = "the printer name"

tp.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = "the printer name"
