   In the vast majority of cases, yes.  Some programs (e.g. WP) have an
option that lets you print to a file so you don't have to muck around with
other programs to capture the printer output.  Some programs (e.g. HG - or
at least in version 2.1x) come with a program that allows you to capture
printer output and send it to a file; this is a program which you run before
you go into HG.

   There are also programs available (e.g. LPTx) that redirect printer output
into a file.  I'm sure many of them are available via FTP, and I'm sure
someone will post about where to get them.
