First of all a brush up about how the various printers work. In most of the cases printer uses PCL X language for printing. If the font in which you would like to print is installed on the printer then it's really very easy to accomplish the job. I have not wroked on SiPix printer but I am sure they must have given a list of font installed on their printer along with the font sequences however if you are out of luck and your font is not installed on the printer then you have to go through the dark forest of generating the post script files (Hint: Start screaming HELP! :-). Due to limitation of space and time I'll not go into the details of other printer languages like HPGL X etc but exploring about the printer languages supported by the SiPX will help you a lot. Hope it helps.
