Not directly, no. Unless the Windows port is different to the *NIX
versions. But I don't think it's *that* different. From the manpage:

So: “print” to the file(s), then print them. A bit awkward, but a lot
less awkward than faffing around with Centronics interfaces and Epson
control codes. (I still have nightmares about that.)

It outputs to the PBM and textfile simultaneously for the ZX
printer (emulated with the 16K, 48K, and 20xx machines; you can't
choose), and only the textfile for everything else.
