I'd have to think about how to go about this on windows. I could probably write a faux driver to emulate the same behavior.

Glad I have got a programmer interested!
The challenge (I think) is not so much making the virtual printer driver itself as getting the page to flow correctly to it. I have setup my Word docs to be A5 ish size which is the closest standard size page, and then output to pdf, but its not really ideal.
Interesting to hear if you make any progress even on Linux first. I usualyl run Windows but can always run a livedisk to try it out.
