Overkill. Maybe with a Raspberry Pi Zero W, which can be picked up for $20 on Amazon, $10 on dedicated hobbyist sites. (Prime vs shipping charges makes this a harder decision than it looks.) If I wanted challenge as a newbie, I'd try to print from an Arduino. But with both boards there is an issue of proprietary bootloaders. I'd rather a Libre computer board AML-s905x-cc. It's about as cheap as RPi, and uses Open Firmware, (incl Libre Firmware?) for booting. BIOS is a "last frontier" of sorts for Open Source, might as well explore it.
