your printer has to match what you select it is on the printer session of your 
terminal.
i can't remember the selections, but they are like proprinter, quitewriter, 
etc.  so if
your printer doesn't match what the terminal thinks it is, you're sunk.

i'm quite sure that zebra label printer is not on the list of choices!

does the printer have a manual?  does it have dip switches, or a config menu to 
look like
one of the choices availiable from the terminal?
