I haven't really done much enhancements on MAM 2.5, but Im sure sami will let you know where to add the code, or you can review the MAM enhancement guide on the CD.
In regards to printing the PIOS API is pretty simple. If you are using a laptop to print to a normal printer then you can just use the Win32 Drivers..(installed via driver addon from web sap console.)If you are using the handheld you will need to find the appropriate drivers.
Here is some code I used in one of my applications:
               <i>Connector conn = Connector.getInstance();
               DriverInfo[] driverInfo = conn.listDrivers(ConnectionType.PRINTER);
               PrinterParameters params = new PrinterParameters(driverInfo[0]);
               params.setPrinterMode(PrinterParameters.GRAPHIC_MODE);
               GraphicPrinter gp = (GraphicPrinter) conn.open(params);
               File myImage = new File("c:
smalllogo.bmp");
               if (myImage.exists()) {
                    float x = 0;
                    float y = 50;
                    try {
                         String[] sFonts =
                              gp.getFontConfigurationManager().listFontNames();
                         PrinterFont pf = gp.getFont(sFonts[0]);
                         gp.drawText(
                              pf,
                              25,
                              25,
                              "TO For Delivery # = "
                                   + dbAccess.getItemFieldValue(arrayItems[0], "VBELN"),
                              GraphicPrinter.NO_ROTATION);
                         for (i = 0; i < arrayItems.length; i++) {
                              gp.drawText(
                                   pf,
                                   25,
                                   y,
                                   "Delivery Item # = "
                                        + dbAccess.getItemFieldValue(
                                             arrayItems<i>,
                                             "POSNR"),
                                   GraphicPrinter.NO_ROTATION);
                              y = y + 10;
                              gp.drawText(
                                   pf,
                                   25,
                                   y,
                                   "Material # = "
                                        + dbAccess.getItemFieldValue(
                                             arrayItems<i>,
                                             "MATNR"),
                                   GraphicPrinter.NO_ROTATION);
                              y = y + 10;
                              gp.drawText(
                                   pf,
                                   25,
                                   y,
                                   "Quantity to Pick = "
                                        + dbAccess.getItemFieldValue(
                                             arrayItems<i>,
                                             "LFIMG"),
                                   GraphicPrinter.NO_ROTATION);
                              y = y + 25;
               gp.doPrint(1);
               gp.close();
          } catch (Throwable tFile) {
               tFile.printStackTrace();
          }<i>
This should give you an idea, you should also read through the MDK documentation for the printer API (PIOS). Its quite easy to pick up and as long as you have the driver and connector installed it prints right away.(You could also use the Peripheral emulator in
NWDS to test the code first)
Hope this helps,
