No. It's a Windows thing.
I was on my wife's Health Insurance web site (Fidelity) and found her "Claims Activity" link. That goes to a HUGE List (she had cancer) which has a "Print" button. Clicking THAT sends me to the print Options. One "Option" is - PRINT TO FILE. Here is the problem . . . . . WHERE does the file get printed to ? NO choices are given to place - just File Name.... ...
If you select that checkbox, Windows will prompt you for a filename when printing. Maybe in new versions it uses a better GUI but it used to be just a text entry dialog box. However it will just send the same data stream that it would have sent to the printer port to the file, whereas you probably want a PDF or PostScript file.
For that you have to install a specific virtual printer, and from the thread I see you found out how to do that for PDF in Windows 7 (and 8.0, and earlier), using DoPDF -- alternatives exist; Windows 10 has a built-in 'Microsoft Print to PDF' virtual printer. For PostScript you can use a generic PostScript printer to 'FILE:'.
The XPS printer that you see listed is a similar thing for the XPS format, a Microsoft competitor to PDF.
