Entities and attributes ideally have no knowledge of the technical implementation.
So this is not a standard solution, let alone the fact that technically things may be
different.
Think of a m:m relationship, that may be valid in your design, but can never be
implemented as such in oracle. 2 entities would result in 3 tables. How to print
that?

The answer is No. No can do. What you could do of course, is print the diagram
of the tables, with their relations. In pre-release 2, invoke the Data Diagrammer.
In relase 2 (and Version 6, as it is now called), just drag your tables to the
working area.
