I have been using Print Wizard on both windows 7 & 10 with no problems. 

One can create PDF files on the fly with no redoing your output. Just send it to a file and Print Wizard will convert it and or print it. 

You can even define a windows service to watch a particular folder and handle file sent there with a particular extension. 

One can download a demo version to try it out.
