I have all my print settings set up already as default.
So when I Ctrl+P I dont need to see the dialogue to then press the print button again.
Is there a way I can bypass the dialogue so that Ctrl+P will print instantly using my settings?

The print dialog is the visible manifestation of app. plotdlg. plotdlg has a number of useful key-ins, which you can find using MicroStation's key-in browser. You can load the plotdlg app. without displaying its dialog.
First, load the print application:
mdl load plotdlg
Now you can queue commands to that app. For example...
print driver pdf.pltcfg print boundary fence print boundary view 1 print papername ISO_A4 print maximize print execute test.pdf
I don't know how to bind a set of key-ins to Ctrl-P, but you can assign them to a function key or other user interface (UI) widget.

Try it!
