Hi,
to your problem with printing to zebra.
Problem is that you don't have priner drivers. But natively supports ZPL 
language.
is text oriented language and there you can describe paper size, 
orientation, define barcodes,
strings, send graphics in PCX or TIFF. The language is pretty powerfull. 
There is also possibility
to beahave like windows drivers for theese printers, they are converting 
whole layout to bitmap,
sends firstly only text info about label, inits bitmap at position eg 
1,1 and sends binary data, after
that sends command for end picture and page.

Hope this help, if you cannot find any ZPL specification write me, I can 
support you with one
