Of course you can.

When I send a RAW file from ACR after adjustments to CS6 in 16-bit ProPhoto, or any other color space, it can definitely be printed without saving as TIFF or JPG - either through CS6's print module, or the fantastic Canon 16-bit print plugin for my iPF5100. Before printing you can edit to you heart's content in PS, open and edit it in Topaz plugins, return it to PS, and it remains in RW2 (Panasonic GH2 RAW) format.

Rather than print directly,which I've done several times, I generally save as a TIFF first for safety's sake.

Fine. Not the pro way to do things but I guess it works for you. But then you want to save this file, don't you save it as a psd or tif file. Or do you keep all your files in Raw. That's a weird way to stor files. A Raw file is an intermediate file that holds much more info than a Jpg.

A Jpg is a compacted file that can only get worse if worked on.
