One method is to use LPR instead of AFP. The Windows LPD (define a Windows printer with the "Standard TCP/IP Port"; you'll need to install "Other Network File and Print Services" from Add/Remove Windows Components). The files will appear in /Windows/system32/spool/printers. You can use the z/OS LPR in a job step.
If you have Infoprint Server, it's built-in lpr (PrintWay) will take the job directly from the spool. If you need ftp and run Infoprint Server, you can easily create a filter to ftp the file. I've an example if you wish.
