Can i print using FIleOutputStream on a printer

Question

Can i print using FIleOutputStream on a printer?

(I am targeting windows platform particularly win32) For example:

FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("lpt1");
fos.print("testing testing testing testing...");

Will these two lines be able to print on a printer?

If no, please suggest a method.

I think the Printing lesson of Java tutorial trail should help you out. Please post specific questions if it doesn't work.Another link I came across which actually shows you how to "print" a text file, worth a try.
