We send direct ZPL string to printers from our Unix Uniface servers.
The printers are defined with textonly driver (so no specific Zebra printer driver). We prepare the file in Uniface, save it on the server and then we lauch a OS shell that print the file through the standard Linux print facility.
I suppose that something similar can be done on Windows if this is what you are using.
Update: I realise that this is an old post that got back in front of the queue. I hope it had been solved since :)

Subject: Printing to a Zebra Printer
I want to send a ZPL string to a zebra printer from Uniface. Is this possible?
We used to do this through 3GL, but the customer has complicated the issue and now they want to be able to select a Zebra printer from the network OR have one attached directly to the machine.
We are using 9.7.05 with Oracle 12c / SQL Server 2017
