You need to put the newline characters at the end of each string thus:

"This is line 1\r\n"
"This is line 2\r\n"
etc.

However, you would get better results by doing proper GDI based printing where you can format your pages properly.

what i should do for formatting the page like font size,font type , print quality and how many character should be printed in that particular line.

See GDI Print API (Windows)[^].

who i can improve the print quality because the print which it is giving out is very light.

Like I already told you, you will have to use proper GDI printing. Alternatively, if you know postscript and your printer supports it (which it should), you can use that and send as raw data.

i have checked that but i have not god anything regarding the formatting of text and increasing the pixel density.

You need to use the Device Context GDI/GDI+ functions as described in Legacy Graphics (Windows)[^].
