I'd like for all my employees to have the option to "print" whatever they like to their user share on the network to have it saved as a document or .pdf that they can access/print at a later time. Is there any way to set up a print-to-file option that will act as a virtual printer to be listed in the directory?
You do understand a printed to a file file is not readable again? Why do you want to do this? You will end up with a huge amount of files on the server no one can read and most likely will not remember to delete after being printed.
What is the real issue you are trying to address?

That's a good question. There is information in the small, proprietary software that our company used to use that will only display in a readable format when printed. I.E. There is patient data entered in many fields across many different menus, but when you send the job to a printer, the software will compile it all onto one simple sheet to read. Right now, we actually have to physically print those out. I thought it might be simpler to send those to a virtual printer instead that would just output them to a file.
Given the situation it looks like printing to pdf would be the way to go. Here is a option:
