It looks from the site that they do not support Linux

http://www.zebra.com/id/zebra/na/en/...?productType=7

I would contact them and request a Linux driver (just to make sure it's not somewhere on their site that you or I could not find).

Other than that, when I worked with a version of Zebra printers that connected to a wireless AP, I just installed a printing program that would automatically sync via the com portthrough which it would download the AP settings.

Did this printer come with software? I would recommend installing that through WINE or another Windows emulator.

If you get it to install using wine you can then use a firmware cutting program to extract the information to run it natively. Here is a similar project that I have used in the past.

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx

Its designed for a Broadcom driver, but you should still be able to look at the source and see how it rips the driver information from the windows install files.
