Yep - there are some transforms available (at additional cost) to convert z/OS Infoprint Server output (whether EBCDIC text or IPDS) to PCL and/or PDF. Happy to be emailed offline if more details are required. Interestingly enough - I believe these tranforms run largely in z/OS UNIX.
The cups Print-to-PDF function would probably be your best "free" bet. Set
it up as a normal print share under Linux and then print to the IP address
(on port 631 typically) via the IP Printway part of Infoprint Server. Not
that I've tried it but it should work.
Cheers
