use winsoft printing library at https://www.winsoft.sk/aprinting.htm and then add to library path in settings, add Winsoft.Android.Print to uses, and then use the printing function like so (I had a canvas and had to convert it to a bitmap to print)

procedure TfrmFinal.printBtnClick(Sender: TObject);
var
screenshot: TBitmap; // WINSOFT CAN PRINT BITMAPS, HTML, PDFS AND MORE.
 begin
    screenshot := showItemsSlip.MakeScreenshot;

   if SystemSupportsPrint then 
    PrintBitmap(screenshot,'logo',TColorMode.Monochrome,TOrientation.Portrait, TScaleMode.Fit)
else
ShowMessage('Printing is not supported on this device'); 
end;
