In the browser, no... the computer's owner has to consent to the
printing before it will happen.
But in a standalone, it depends on the standalone shell you're using, I
think... on Windows, the Adobe Flash Player is delivered as an ActiveX
Control, and other applications can invoke this control. It seems
possible to do a printscreen at screen resolution (rather than Flash's
vectors), where the Player would never know that its content was piped
to a printer.
