I found that there were some bugs in the JDK code that FX calls
that need to be fixed first. I started on those but it was reasonably
complex to test and so that is still WIP and then the FX part should
be possible.

Damn ... Thank you for your reply and for the ticket submitted.
I created an invoice application for my own company, and imagine
that java 9+ would kill me :) All the invoices are generated
automatically through pdf printer (I tried few free pdf libraries
as an alternative, but for what I need they have poor results).
I actually posted my ugly solution as well here some time ago:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52684422/javafx-set-programmatically-the-destination-path-to-print-directly-a-node-to-p/52687798#52687798
I know it is not much, but 89 hits might mean something. People
might fight with it later, when they are going to migrate for new
java versions.
Thank you so much, and looking forward if you guys have time to
take care of it.

Everything you are touching there pre-supposes knowledge
of today's implementation of the JavaFX printing API, so
I don't think we can endorse that.
The right thing to do (maybe years ago!) is to file
an RFE to request that something like the Destination attribute
be supported in the FX printing API. I've reviewed the open
bug list and I don't see that anyone else has asked for this.
I just submitted :
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8223717
JFYI, I reviewed some old notes and it was originally planned
to be
supported in the API but during design discussion it was removed
as a result of a combination of getting it right, not being
sure how
many people would need it (you may be the first) and some perhaps
over-stated concerns about security.
