Writing a printer driver that works with .NET Application

Is it possible to write a print driver that will work together with a .net application

my .Net application uploads documents to a print server and prints a document

basically i want any documents printed to that printer to be uploaded to a server,so in a way it isnt a printer its more of an application but since i want the jobs to look like they are being printed i want the driver to be a printer driver

and the "application" to look like a virtual printer.

in a way all i need to do is pass the path of the job to the upload.net application which does the uploading for me

is that possible?

ok but because i am quite new at this, do you know any good samples i can work with

i need to pass in 4 variables to the .net application. (one is the path of the document) and the other 3 are choices the user gets

any idea if that is also possible?

Well I am new to the driver world but i am quite experinced in C Programming so i am quite sure i can pick it up, but yes I am under no pressure and given creative freedom to take as much time as i want.
My superiors know that i am quite new to this and are very understanding which makes me really lucky

Can i write a print driver that creates a PDF document and uploads that document to a server?
