Yes, certainly in theory. In practice there is a huge amount
of work, because you have to do a conversion from every possible
GDI construct into an equivalent PDF construct. A PDF Library
will be a help, but probably only represents a small part of
the work - the driver framework and conceptual translations
are much more work.

If you have never tackled creating a printer driver before, bear
in mind that they are completely different on Windows 9x and
Windows NT systems. The Microsoft DDK (Device Driver Kit) will
be your companion for a while.
