Sorry I forgot to mention syntax enable. Must be buried in a
configuration file at my place.

Using cups-pdf, you can specify the printer that vim uses like

:set printdevice=Virtual_Printer

(or however the pdf-printer may be named in cups,) as a single command like

vim "+set printdevice=Virtual_Printer" +ha +q test.php

and the pdf output (here named: test.pdf) will go to the directory
specified in cups-pdf configuration.

There are also lots of print options that can be set like eg.

:set printoptions=header:0

for suppressing the header.

Another way would be using ghostscript's "ps2pdf" for converting .ps to .pdf.
