How to set right allignment to receipt data while printing?

I am printing a receipt of items. I need Item names in Left side and Price of items at right side.

I am using new TextPrintJob.Builder().text(String.format("\n%-23s %6s", "Item", "Price"); to print the string with item name and price.

As items name's length are different I feel trouble to give exact spacing to the price. Is there any way to specify right allignment for printed string?

No, the text print job is very basic and simply prints left-justified lines of text. If you need for advanced formatting you should use ViewPrintJob or ImagePrintJob.
