When debugging windows printing we found it was possible to install
Ghostscript as a printer and print to that. It can be configured
to produce PS output to a file.

Cool :-)
Unfortunately this is APFL ghostscript for win32 which is distributed with
a license that prohibits commercial distribution. From my reading of the
license it appears that even distrubting it with a GPL'd program is not
allowed if you charge money for GPL'd program. In fact we would not even
be allowed to include it on a CD magazine cover. :-(
There is GNU ghostscript but it doesn't appear to be able to run on
windows.
Anyway you might interested in checking the website:
