Best of my knowledge nothing like this is standard with Windows, whatever version. You will have to get the software from somewhere.

If you have access to Adobe Acrobat, you can install Adobe Distiller (not sure if thats what its still call now) but it acts like a print driver. Just print to it and it creates the pdf for you.

But there are tonnes of other apps you can get, most for free. Just google something like "windows xp print to pdf" or something similiar and you'll get a big list.

Good luck!
