Yes.

At the moment, I try to clone R5 as close as possible, but your are
right that we should find better solutions where desireable.

I wonder how this is done in R5? E.g. Preview opens several windows,
(processes spool jobs simultaneously) but AFAIK Print to File only one
at a time. I think this is also hardcoded.

Another thing that seems to be hardcoded in the Printers Prefs of R5
are the transport addresses for Serial/Parallel transport and that
Preview printer does not need a transport add-on at all.
