How to give print command to printer from Android

问题:

I have created a simple app in which I give print command to printer but nothing happens.

Here is my code:

new Thread(new Runnable() {

    @Override
    public void run() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        Socket socket;
        try {
            socket = new Socket("xxx.xxx.xx.21", 515);
            PrintWriter outputStream = new PrintWriter(socket.getOutputStream());
            outputStream.println("\fThis is a test print");
            outputStream.close();
            socket.close();
        } catch (UnknownHostException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}).start();

When I run this code it works but doesn't print anything on printer.

Configuration details:

I have my laptop, android device & printer in same network. I tested IP addresses of all the 3 as well as port number of printer. Also, I pinged to printer's IP address from my laptop command prompt so I get reply but when I connect through device nothing happens.
