Hmm.
Most MSWindows printer drivers contain a "Print to file" option instead of direction to a printer port.
Also, newer versions of MSWindows have the capability to do IP-based printing (linux/unix printer sharing over the network).
As a fallback, you can use SAMBA to create a Windows-compatible network printer share from your linux machine and then connect to it via the network.
Unfortunately, I don't know much about WINE and the ability to do network printing.
However, it is possible to do it from a virtual PC with Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000 inside a program called QEMU.
Or for a 100% open source solution, you can install ReactOS inside your virtual PC (QEMU) and then run your windows programs from there.
