Can someone point me to some documentation on how to use the printer
using
ruby 1.9.2 or WxRuby?

what os do you use?
if it’s linux, simply
system(“lpr”, filename) or raise “lpr failed”
should do the trick

For the content (text, images, geometric figures) that is to be printed,
a printer is a DeviceContext (DC) that is drawn to in the same way that
wxRuby draws to screen. Have a look at the drawing classes (wxDC).
For controlling the printer (choosing which one to use, choosing paper &
orientation) there is a set of Printing classes.
http://wxruby.rubyforge.org/doc/#printing
There is an example in the distribution in samples/printing/printing.rb
which shows both these aspects
