Barrels cannot be printed and last more than one shot, no. However, it isn't that difficult to rifle a hydraulic tube using Electro-Chemical Machining using printed parts for the mandrill. There still needs to be a lot of other metal parts like screws and springs, so they are detectable with metal detectors, but you can make a reliable firearm without any actual firearm parts. Look at the FGC-9 or Partisan-9 as examples.
