Hi,

i'm not sure, i'm understanding what's your problem: you want cups (on 
fedora) to print into a pdf file and this file should be located in a 
win10 share on your vm?

Did you test to copy some pdf file from the fedora machine into the 
share and the vm sees it and handles it as you expected?
Did you test cups-pdf to write the pdf on the fedora machine and this works?

Or... is it vice versa - your win 10 hp ps printer shall write a pdf and 
the fedora machine shall print it then? So is it possible to copy a pdf 
file manually from windows into the share and this file is handled as 
you expect? Does the win10 hp ps printer produce files on the vm correctly?

I assume a share write rights problem in both cases as well. So i always 
would leave the printer questions out of sight and check the share 
functionality. And i would test all the printing things on every side 
"locally" first...
