No, it can't.

set pathToDisk to path to startup disk as text
tell application "InDesign 2.0.2"
 tell document 1
  set docName to name
  tell print preferences
   -- set other properties � for example, active printer style
   set printer to postscript file
   set print file to (pathToDisk & docName & ".ps")
  end tell
  print without print dialog
 end tell
end tell

Unfortunately the EPS export settings aren't scriptable at this point, so
it's not really a good choice.
