On Atari, printer drivers are application specific, it's not something that Hatari could do.

(At least for anything higher level than just plain ASCII text, something that would actually benefit from PDF format.)

I've never used it on my own, but I think there are some HP or Epson printer
emulators around that can be used to turn the output of Hatari into a PDF


Yes, I've used GhostPCL in the past to make PDFs from Atari printer output [1]. But how to get the Atari to output PCL in the first place is application-dependent, as Eero already mentioned. Some software uses GDOS, other software uses their proprietary printer drivers.
