Cool Print to a ps2pdf print queue.

I am trying to create a printer queue, on a SunOS 5.7 system, that outputs a pdf file. There is an application running on the system that has a print button, which sends print files to the default printer. If I disable the printer, I am able to manually capture the files in /var/spool/lp/tmp and convert them to pdf format using ps2pdf, but I would like this to be automatic. How do I set up a pseudo printer to output the files in pdf format in a specified directory?

Thanks,
Cheers,
Sean.
