It always sent it's output to a printer by default.  There was a
discussion on the teTeX list many centuries ago and the vast majority
of users wanted this behavior to be kept.

However, you can change the default in your config file.  It's all
described in the manual.

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
