Here is one way using the PrintHelper available in the V4 Support Library. 

private void doPhotoPrint() {
    PrintHelper photoPrinter = new PrintHelper(getActivity());
    photoPrinter.setScaleMode(PrintHelper.SCALE_MODE_FIT);
    Bitmap bitmap = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(),
            R.drawable.droids);
    photoPrinter.printBitmap("droids.jpg - test print", bitmap);
}
