In a word - no.  However Ip Tak Hong has contributed some patches to
add printer support  and you can find these in the contrib area of the e-smith ftp site. I have incorporated those patches into my e-smith with extras RPM you can find at http://e-smith.gormand.com.au/. I recommend that you use LPRng to do the printing, but it will work with
the standard lpr which comes with RedHat 6.0.

Using this non-standard code will make it more difficult for you to upgrade when a new standard e-smith module comes out, so you should bear that in mind when deciding whether to go this path or not....
