depends on what you mean by a "mainframe printer".

if you're talking about traditional PSF-driven printers, I don't think so.

but we use VPS and print to PostScript printers.  we use the VPS exits
to generate PostScript and wrap it around our SYSOUT to do forms and
stuff.  we've successfully experimented with sending PC-generated
PostScript documents to those printers -- but never used it in production.

don't know about PDF documents ... I've heard that there are printers
that can print PDF documents, but have never seen one.
