I am quite sure you can print directly to the printer, but this looks rather complicated. "???" sends printer commands directly to the printer, without interpretation by the Windows printing system.
You would have to find the printer commands for printing graphics, for your specific printer. For a bitmap, you will probably have to send the graphics a few dots at a time.
While this is possible, I don't think it is worthwhile; I only use "???" for fast printing in text-mode, when there are NO graphics involved.
