The last time I printed to a file using a Windows driver for a postscript
printer I got a postscript file as a result. This was quite a few years ago
but I would be surprised if it has changed since then.
It is already possible under Windows to print to an exported printer. Just
configure your printer to be shared and install the driver on the remote
device. Why you think VNC should be burdened with this already supported
feature is beyond me. Of course I might be silly in assuming that anyone who
doesn't know enough to specify the OS running on their machine when asking
for help must be running Windows. I suppose that is merely a nasty
stereotype.
Sharing printers, even between OS's, is a well supported and well understood
function but outside the scope of this list.
