Printing to pdf may indeed be a good solution. I can't give you good
advice on which "PDF printer driver" to install because I don't use
Windows. It is much easier on Linux where such features are default.

If you don't manage this way, I could also advise Scribus, which has a
good support for importing, editing and exporting PDF for printing:
https://www.scribus.net/
Note: use the development release (1.5.x) and not the stable release.
The different in PDF support is huge.

Now for your usage, Scribus may be a little overdoing it. It does not
look like you are looking for that much. But well that's still a good
Free Software to know about, if ever you had more needs for making
documents for the printer.
