As other's have said... I don't think there's a way to get this will
work. However,
it may be an acceptable kludge to set-up a network share on the Windows
PC that
waits for PDF files, and then prints them through Adobe when they appear.

One item to read is here...

Also - for the archives...
Many "networked photocopiers" actually speak PCL 3 (set up CUPS to speak to
an HP LaserJet 4000). Toshiba and Konica have been known to produce these.
That said, a "GDI" printer is unlikely to speak any standard
printer/rastering language.
