Not on OS X, at least not reliably.   In OS X, the print dialog is not
actually triggered by the open printing commamd that specifies it;
accordingly the result for the open printing command will always be empty.

So instead of the behavior we've come to expect, it seems the print job
dialog open only when the print command is issued, but by that time you're
too far away from the open printing command to have any usefulness in
checking the result.

Hmmm....
