How do I set up a Zebra Printer on AIX?

Hi All

We have a Zebra LP 2824 that we are wanting to use to print mailing labels from our AIX 7.1 server.

We have around 350 printers of various types and manufactures already installed and functioning so, we don't want to install CUPS.

I can get the printer to print using Line Mode but, the orientation is 180 degrees out and I don't see anything in the Line Mode Programmers Manual to correct this.

Zebra does not have printer drivers for Native Unix, Linux or AIX print systems and I can't get the printer to do anything in Page Mode at all.

Has anybody been able to get Zebra Printers working correctly on an AIX server and if so, how?
