Silly question but what type of Thermal printer, If it appears as Windows printer just use one of the print out examples here for C# to a printer. If you can't get it to appear in the printer list the manufactures web site is the place to go.

If you are buying a thermal printer, then you can ask the API provided by the manufacturer, but if they doesn't provide the API at least you can ask them command code where you can send and receive the data via printer. And also mention in your question as to which type of thermal printer you are targeting either a USB or bluetooth or a wifi printer. I have worked on a bluetooth thermal printer but from Android, if you need a sample of it then I can send across your mail.

If your app is a Desktop one (not ASP.NET) then I'd try to learn the printer target language commands (determine it asking the manufacturer) and would send the raw commands to the printer by using this code http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322091[^]
Printing performance will be way better/faster than using PrintDocument though the Windows driver.
There are also some third party solutions out there that target thermal printers which you can try too and see if your budget allows you to go for them.
