Is it possible to connect to virtual printer outside of OctoPrint?

Hi. Is it possible to connect to the virtual printer outside of OctoPrint? Virtual printer is exposed outside of OctoPrint in some way?

Not quite sure what you mean

What do you want to connect to the virtual printer?

Sounds like you want a real-world virtual printer. Pretty sure there is a Marlin simulator mode that you can run as an application to achieve this.

Klipper is connected via Virtual Printer.

And AFAIK, it is not possible because it is a pure software solution. Both sides of the virtual port have to run on the same hardware.

Seems it also has a simulator mode that mimics an AVR.

Yes, it's something like Marlin simulator. Thanks!
