+This is my attempt to document various quirks using Zebra printers
+attached to Windows machines using USB:
Windows printer driver doesn't seem to support ZPL when shared over CIFS.
Easier solution is to install port as Generic/Text printer under Windows
and share printer using lpd which is available in Windows XP and newer.
+Install "zpl" printer with Generic / Text driver on Windows:
+
+ Start > Printers and Faxes
+ Add a printer > Next >
+ Local printer attached to this computer >
+ Use port: USB001 (Virtual printer port for USB) > Next >
+ Generic > Generic / Text Only > Next >
+ Printer name: zpl > default printer ? > No > Next >
+ Do not share this printer > Next >
+ Do you want to print a test page? > No > Next > Finish
+
+Install lpd server on Windows:
+
+ Start > Control Panel
+ Add or Remove programs > Add/Remove Windows Components >
+ Other Network File and Print Services > Details >
+ Print Services for Unix > OK > Next > Finish
+
+ [ Restart Windows to complete install ]
+
+Allow connections from local subnet to port 515:
+
+ Network Connections > Local Area Connection > Properties >
+ Advanced - Windows Firewal > Settings >
+ Exceptions > File and Printer Sharing > Add Port >
+ Name: printer Port Number: 515 > TCP > Change scope >
+ Ny network (subnet) only > OK > OK > OK ...
+
+Enable lpd service:
+
+ Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services >
+ TCP/IP Print Server > Startup type: Automatic > Apply >
+ Start > OK
+
+Verify that lpd and firewall settings are correct:
+
+ dpavlin@t61p:~$ rlpq -H 10.60.1.30 -P zpl
+ rlpq: warning: cannot bind to privileged port: lpd may reject
