print output to a unique filename in text format

I have a customer that has a program running on a Windows XP machine. It is set up to print out 'counts' of their data every so often. Right now, the only option is to print to a printer so that program is limited to where it can print. We would like to redirect or set up a new printer that would print to a text file with a unique name such as the date and time stamp. We can set up the generic text printer but it always asks for an output file name. we would like that to be automatic.
Is this possible?

Not sure if you can install PDF Creator Software, so that you can select a file to print
