Zebra printers work for us but we generate ZPL output ourselves and a
raw queue is good enough for our purposes. I have to say the CUPS in
CentOS5/Upstream is not very good at printing to Zebra printers using
ZPL. More upto date CUPS does a better job, I had more success with
latest SLES and Ubuntu compared to CentOS/upstream.
