Turns out it's even easier. The following code succeeded on my windows 8 system.

{
	HDC hdc = CreateDC( "WINSPOOL", "Microsoft XPS Document Writer", NULL, NULL);

	if(hdc) {
		One<PrintDraw> d = new PrintDraw(hdc, "My Printing Job Name");
		LOG("Printer Draw OK");

		d->DrawText(10,20,"Test",StdFont().Height(720),Black());
		
		d->EndPage();

		DeleteDC(hdc);
	}
}

You should replace "Microsoft XPS..." with your actual printer name (who doesn't need to be the default printer.

HTH,
