[JAVA2D] Printing data in dotmatrix printer with formating

[java2d]

I have a dot matrix printer nad i want to print data directly to the dot matrix 
printer. I have use the JasperReport as reporting tool but it prints very 
slowly. I have also use the JRTextExporter exporter = new JRTextExporter(); for 
exporting reports in text but it can't make a good alignment to the text and 
event i can't do any type of formatting in the text File. My Code is

[b]public void convertToText[/b]() {
            JRTextExporter exporter = new JRTextExporter();

            File file = new File("C:\\bill.html");
        try {

            
exporter.setParameter(JRTextExporterParameter.JASPER_PRINT,report.getReport());
            exporter.setParameter(JRTextExporterParameter.OUTPUT_FILE, file);
            exporter.setParameter(JRTextExporterParameter.PAGE_HEIGHT,new 
Integer(15));
            exporter.setParameter(JRTextExporterParameter.PAGE_WIDTH,new 
Integer(22));
            exporter.setParameter(JRTextExporterParameter.CHARACTER_WIDTH,new 
Integer(30));
            exporter.setParameter(JRTextExporterParameter.CHARACTER_HEIGHT,new 
Integer(30));
            exporter.exportReport();

            getPrinter(file);

        } catch (Exception ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    [b]public void getPrinter[/b](File file)
           throws PrintException, FileNotFoundException {

            javax.print.DocFlavor flavor = 
javax.print.DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.AUTOSENSE;

            javax.print.attribute.PrintRequestAttributeSet pras =
                    new javax.print.attribute.HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();



            PrintService printService  = 
PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService();
            javax.print.DocPrintJob job = printService.createPrintJob();

            java.io.FileInputStream fis = new java.io.FileInputStream(file);
            javax.print.attribute.DocAttributeSet das = new 
javax.print.attribute.HashDocAttributeSet();
            javax.print.Doc doc = new javax.print.SimpleDoc(fis, flavor, das);
            job.print(doc, pras);

    }
}
