I believe the latest, greatest GTK+ 2.10 API for this is:
http://www.gtkmm.org/docs/gtkmm-2.4/docs/reference/html/classGtk_1_1PrintOperation.html

It'll involve doing your actual drawing with Pango and Cairo.  See
http://www.gnome.org/~alexl/presentations/guadec2006-printing.pdf
for an overview (page 17 provides a little snippet on using pango to
output some simple text, in C).

If you really just want to dump plain text to a local printer, there
will probably be simpler APIs available on your platform.
