I don't really know, but I think it is possible.

Cairo draws to different backends, called surfaces. X11 is one surface, others 
are PNG, PDF, PostScript, W32, Quartz, OpenGL, SVG.  So depending on the 
surface you draw to, it may involve a screen.  The printing dialog returns a 
suitable surface for the selected printer, and the application is supposed to 
render into that surface.
