Yeah, but that's gotta be a widespread requirement that's been solved —
basically the Windows equivalent of lpr -P zebra file.pdf.

This post suggests that Win32::Printer::Direct can print PDF files,
though possibly it just passes the bytes on unmodified, so it's actually
dependent on your printer being able to handle PDF:

One of the comments on the above post suggests using the gsprint
command: http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/gsview/gsprint.htm

isn't much of a description!
