Accessing plugin-devices

Quote from http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/cstdio/

cstdio (stdio.h)
C library to perform Input/Output operations
Input and Output operations can also be performed in C++ using the C Standard Input and Output Library (cstdio, known as stdio.h in the C language). This library uses what are called streams to operate with physical devices such as keyboards, printers, terminals or with any other type of files supported by the system.

So how exactly do you send something to a printer or get info from a mouse using <cstdio>? Can it be done without downloading a secondary library? I get the feeling that I need to access the the device drivers or something like that. anyone know how?
