I will second this suggestion.  There is a great library out there
called *PDFCreator* that will take print jobs in WinXP and convert them
into PDFs.  I use it all the time.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/pdfcreator/

*WARNING* PDFCreator is under the GPL.  If this works for you then
great, but just want you to know it isn't a PHP-style of license...
