sort of.

The first question to ask, is how are you printing it?

rendered HTML is notoriously crap at being printed, since fonts and so 
on can not be guaranteed at the clients browser end.

I got round that by generating pdf files which are then downloaded and 
printed, with fonts embedded, but its a whole new bunch of programming.

If you just want to do a quick and dirty preview, either write a PHP 
page than can be selected to just show that, or possibly make a 
javascript window that pops up and includes it..

But whatever you do its a separate piece of code...there are no short 
cuts that I know of.
