Yes. I haven't tried it though so I don't know how well it works.
I would do it the other way around though. The Printerdrivers
for the PC is as a rule of thumb better.

More efficient to use the files as if they were local in my
point of view.
All data I work with I store on a Linux-server which among
other things is running Samba. No matter if I sit infront of
my Amiga or my Windows2000 machine, I can point Word/Wordworth/
Excel/AmigaAMP/WinAMP whatever to the same place without
intermidiaries.
Much more convinient than having to shuffle files back and
forth through a ftp-server.
Of course, you could use Dopus5 or FTPmount to mount remote
ftp-servers in the same way. Not quite as efficient but
almost.

Dopus 4 is better though.
