If you want to format your own receipt, you can either,

  1. Use TextPrintJob. You can send simple lines of text. Any formatting has to be achieved by adding spaces and blank lines, etc.
  2. Use ViewPrintJob. This allows you to format the receipt using formatting mechanisms available via the Android View hierarchy.
  3. Use ImagePrintJob. Here you send an Android Bitmap, and how you format the pixels therein is up to you.

There is no sample for that. What's your question?

PrintJob pj = new ViewPrintJob.Builder().view(view).print(...);

As for how to construct the view, that's a general Android question that you'd be better off consulting the developer resources offered by Google.
