No.

Printing is in fact hard. There are lots of issues to deal with. For example, paper doesn't have scroll bars and screens don't have page breaks. Paper is linear -- screens are not. And I don't even want to think about how to convert calibre's library data model and data formatting into something printable. My guess is that weeks of work would be required to get something that would pass muster.
