Try using this one....

public class BluetoothPrinterActivity extends Activity {

BluetoothAdapter mBTAdapter;
BluetoothSocket mBTSocket = null;
Dialog dialogProgress;
String BILL, TRANS_ID;
String PRINTER_MAC_ID = "00:1F:B7:02:8F:44";
final String ERROR_MESSAGE = "There has been an error in printing the bill.";

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    try {

        BILL = "\nSale Slip No: 12345678" + " " + "04-08-2011\n";
        BILL = BILL + "----------------------------------------";
        BILL = BILL + "\n\n";
        BILL = BILL + "Total Qty:" + " " + "2.0\n";
        BILL = BILL + "Total Value:" + " " + "17625.0\n";
        BILL = BILL + "-----------------------------------------";

        mBTAdapter = BluetoothAdapter.getDefaultAdapter();
