Thermal printers?

Are these like standard non-graphical text style things?

(i.e a line printer)

Or are they some weird fancy inkjet style thing?

If they are just standard text style things then you should be able to
just print to them like a file 

a la /dev/lpt0

to test it out use something like:
cat text.file > /dev/lpt0

(but replace "text.file" with a short text file of you choice)
