In case you need a CUPS printer, CUPS-PDF (e.g. provided by the 
printer-driver-cups-pdf package in Debian) might help.

 From an application perspective, that should behave like a "real printer".

You can also set up a dummy printer with any PPD file of a real HW 
printer by setting "FileDevice Yes" in /etc/cups/cups-files.conf, 
restarting cups and then using e.g. this command

     sudo lpadmin -p dummyprinter -v file:/tmp/tofile-dummyprinter -P 
<path_to_ppd_file.ppd> -E
