I had not thought that approach (a non-visual lcl program) to be

No, it doesn't implement printing.
The printer4lazarus package uses cups by default. I have not tested if it
works with the nogui widgetset.
Would such a program run on a host where X was not installed?
No
I am targeting only Linux. I save the output to a file (SaveToFile).
The user prints the
file if needed.
Well, if you are not printing in your software then you are not doing
printing, only drawing. So the answer to my original questions should
have been "Drawing". So with your requirements using the LCL is
probably not necessary. If you are targeting only linux then you can
probably use a command line execution to print the file.
Yes.
OTOH cups gives some information about the queue and the printer.
Purely as a side note:
This is not relevant if the user is behind a browser on another machine.
For instance, none of our webservers has cups installed.
