Well, no. Or at least not sensibly.

That method creates a 'virtual' printer which applications can print to. 

When they do so the Windows print system creates PostScript which it 
sends to the 'printer'. The Port Monitor (RedMon) intercepts that 
PostScript program and sends it to Ghostscript, configured to create a 
PDF file.

I can't think of any reason why you would want to print from an 
application to a local 'virtual' printer and go through the process of 
creating PostScript, sending that to the Port Monitor, having the Port 
Monitor activate Ghostscript to render it (on your computer) and then 
send the bitmap to your printer.

Why don't you just print to the printer from Windows ?
