python
import os

def print_file(file_path, printer_name):
try:
# Check if the file exists
if not os.path.isfile(file_path):
raise FileNotFoundError("File not found.")

# Print the file using the default system printer
os.startfile(file_path, "printto", printer_name)
except Exception as e:
print(f"Failed to print file: {e}")

# Usage example
file_to_print = "C:/path/to/file.pdf"
printer_to_use = "X5470 Printer"

print_file(file_to_print, printer_to_use)

In this sample code, the `print_file` function takes a file path and a printer name as inputs. It uses the `os.startfile` method with the `”printto”` argument to send the file to the specified printer for printing. This code is written in Python and assumes that the printer is already set up and configured as the default printer on the operating system.

Please note that the code provided above is a basic example and may need additional adjustments based on your specific requirements and the capabilities of the printer you are using.
