I think most of the readers (me including) are asking themselves if you want to send html data as code to the print buffer or as the end result (as shown as a webpage).

It would also help if you explained exactly what part of this procedure you cannot do.

Sorry I am new to C#. I will try to explain more.I want to send the data to print buffer directly.(means I don't want to display the print dialog box,selectthe file all those)

Then you need to know the details of the printer that you are going to send it to, in order to bypass using the PrintDialog. There are many sample articles around that explain printing from C#.

There is even an article on this exact subject at http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/12799/Print-HTML-in-C-with-or-without-the-web-browser-co.

Is it a desktop app or an ASP.NET website what you are developing there?

ok I doubt that any printer can handle raw html so you should first convert the html to some other format like an image or PDF maybe and then print it to the printer instead. The link provided by Richard above could be a solution.
