Yes (but not a recomendation, as I'm just copying from a catalog).

application to print from the screen or from in-memory bitmaps.  It
currently supports over 175 dot matrix, inkjet, and laser printers . . .
Baby Driver works with virtually any graphics environment and includes
explicit support for . . . Borland's BGI for C and Pascal . . ."
