I have a user that is trying to send a pdf output to OKI-Data printer. Is there anything
special that needs to be done to get this working?

Which printer you are sending to has nothing do do with any WF settings. PDF means "portable document format" meaning that it is standard across any OS, printer, etc. The Acrobat reader and printer driver handle all of the necessaries.

Now if you're talking about automatically sending to a printer via ReportCaster, there's a whole different story. Most printers don't natively know what a PDF stream is so you have to handle printing through specific printer queues or create the document in Postscript format for a PS-enabled printer (the appearance of the output is nearly identical.)
