The easiest way to print (with a real printer) in C ++?

Question

In most cases, search for print information on standard output, and results related to actual printers are mainly related to the Win32 API.

Is there such a thing as a basic non-OS API that allows a simple C ++ program to print a file, such as .txt, or print its standard output?

No, there is no API other than OS with C ++.

I would suggest running a command (for example, with library calls systemor popen) that print, and make this command user-configurable.
