You still didn't specify what OS you are using, however:

The following works for me under RedHat Linux 7.1:

import os
lpr = os.popen('/usr/bin/lpr', 'w')
lpr.write("hello, world\n")
lpr.close()

Under Windows, I believe you can just open LPT1: (or whatever port your 
printer is on) and write to it, but I have no way of testing this.
