c# - Send raw data to print not working

I want to send raw data to print, avoiding printer selection (fast print).

I am trying to use this helper provided by Microsoft: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/322091#top

However, when I call to the method:

RawPrinterHelper.SendStringToPrinter(pd.PrinterSettings.PrinterName, s);

My printer starts to works (makes some noise) but It never takes the white paper and starts to print.

I have tried it with my two printers and the behavior is the same in both printers. Also I discard the possibility that the printers are broken because I can print other documents.

What can be wrong?
