Yes. That's why they're called "tabstops". But how do you set 'em on a modern printer? I imagine that a postscript printer might be able to preserve "the default tabstop", but I suspect it's all done on the computer, not the printer, these days. -- Not so sure that's necessarily a bad thing Just like the printer not going "ding!"
