Sort of.  I think the way its done is you need to create a device context
and associate it with a printer instead of with a screen.
It can be done without "PM" but I don't know of any documentation
that describes it and I have never tried to get it to work.

The one application I wrote I was considering doing what you are trying
to do ended up a full PM app........
