Once you have the transforms installed, you can send a 'pure' PDF document 
to InfoPrint using the Windows lpr command in a DOS prompt window.  For 
example to print a PDF right off a CD:

lpr -S USCT -P Oce -o 1 -J "Danner Room 130" E:\pdf\AOPI0220.PDF 

InfoPrint recognizes that the document is in PDF format and automatically 
converts it to AFP.

The Port Monitor (that others have mentioned) is nice in that it allows 
direct printing from any Windows app, but bad in that it requires software 
to be installed locally on each PC (and the installer needs to have admin 
rights on the box).  The lpr command lacks the slick user interface, but 
requires no software at all (including drivers) on the clients.
