Unix printer output to a file

Question

I am using this code in Putty on Win7 to print my file on Linux.

lp -d myPrinter myfile.out

There is no problem with this code, it works perfectly. But I am having some Turkish character problem. So everytimeIi change something, I run this code to see if it changes. So it make wasting of paper.Now, this is my question;

Is there a way to print a file on a virtual printer and to see result in a file, like microsoft XPS document writer and *.xps file. If there is, where will be the result file.

I am new at Unix, please forgive me, thanks.

I find a solution, First install Cups-PDF to your unix server.Then run this code:

lp -d Cups-PDF myfile.out

Then go to ${HOME}/Desktop folder to see the result.Probably your pdf name will be myFile.pdf.To learn ${HOME}, just write ${HOME} to putty.
