Install a PDF printer driver.

It is a program that installs a driver that adds a "printer" to windows, but
it's not a physical printer, it's a program that generates PDF files
instead.
You will be able to "print" whatever you want from any program, but instead
of printing in paper it "prints" in PDF files.

newer versions of Windows have the XPS printer driver which may be used
for the same purpose w/o installing anything

I think that it's available from XP with the "print to a file" option.

According to this page:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/deskto...(v=vs.85).aspx
it is available from XP SP2.

I almost never used it. I prefer PDF.

sure, but if one doesn't want to install the "PDF printer" s/w, the XPS
one is already available and in some cases, may fit the bill

Yes.
In the past I remember that I had a physical printer only for the purpose to
test my programs (because I didn't need to print anything else).
