Yes, and as far as I know has been for a long time - you just have to learn
the various tricks.

For systems that use Cups and under Linux I have not found any issues other
than printer related.

Set SELECT to LS with a file name.

Set up a var for the command for lpr (in full as required).

After closing the print files issue lpr address to the correct printer or
class.

If you have detailed formatting for printer requirements use the text file
as input to scribe and use it or via .pdf etc to print.

Similar for OSX, windoz.
