If you have old apps that "print", it *may* be easier to change the
print queue than the actual old programs.

Note: if the program generates a single print job with 5000 pages, the
"new" PDF symbiont may create a single PDF file with 5000 pages in it,
which may not be the intended goal is you wish to email each invoice to
customers in which case you want 5000 1 page PDF files, and this
requires the program be changed.
