Yes, but is really useless without FOP. Those printers are almost used to print
receipts and invoices, with near to 0 support for advanced imaging, so this will
be used almost to line up text on preprinted forms, and i think it is a very
easy way to do it.

I posted it with package and header, but is there a doc with coding style infos
that i can use to touch-up the code? Which branch i should use?

As i say i think it is really useless alone.

Thanks
