>Has anyone else noticed a problem in Windows 10 with the virtual printers for printing to PDF and XPS? An empty zero-byte output file is generated in the case where output filename contains filename when using the "Print to PDF" and "Print to XPS" virtual printers. The problem appears to be in the print drivers, as the problem appears to occur regardless of the program. The output file is OK if you don't have a comma in the filename. I've not verified if there are any other characters that cause the same problems.

I can confirm there's no problem with the XPS Document Writer on Win7. Probably a bug on Win10.
My first thought was maybe it's an illegal character for a file name, but it's not. OTOH there are some interesting effects naming files with commas in the CMD window:
REN Test.doc Test,.doc && syntax error
REN Test.doc "Test,.doc" && works
