ok guys,
i solved both printers!

how?
got on http://www.freebsddiary.org/apsfilter.php
after reading it, i deceided to begin a new setup on another pc with freebsd 5.2
there, in the /stand/sysinstall there are new entries which included printer utilities such as the apsfilter and cups, installed them both,
then it was simply run the SETUP from /usr/local/share/apsfilter
and there it was nice and easy, although for my brother 1660e, wasn't supported, installed the brother 1270 with the hl1250 driver, printed test page: ok!
for the serial zebra label printer, i installed generic ps driver an configured the serial port communiction with the data bits and bps...
didn't print a test page but, i found out zebra only respond to files beginning with ^Z or ^X, printed a txt file we use on as400
lpr -PRAW file.txt
printed ok! (RAW is name of que of that printer.

but now i have the following question for you guys:
what do i have to configure if i want to let the as400 print stuff on my local printers. according to our outsourcing firm the lpd deamon needs to be running and the queues of the printer must have the name that will be declared on the as400 like
name on as400: PRT01 and PRT02
then on the bsd it should be /var/spool/lpd/PRT01 and ..../PRT02
we tried to print from windows via lpr but didn't work, tried from as400, didn't work
personaly i think we need to install samba on the bsd?
or is it something else we need to take a look at?

thxn for your replies guys!

lp5250d

LP5250D(1)						      General Commands Manual							LP5250D(1)

NAME

       lp5250d - start an AS/400 printer session

SYNOPSIS

       lp5250d [OPTIONS] HOSTNAME

DESCRIPTION

       lp5250d	connects  to  an  AS/400 over TCP/IP and provides a printer session emulating an IBM 3812 printer.  The printer session works with
       scs2ascii and host print transform on the AS/400 to print AS/400 spooled files on a local printer.

       To end a printer session, send it a SIGTERM signal with kill(1).

       Printing support requires named session support, which is available for most recent versions of OS/400, but is only supplied with V4R3  and
       later versions.	For V3R2, V3R7, V4R1 and V4R2, please see informational APAR II10918.

OPTIONS

       Additional lp5250d options are described in the tn5250rc(5) man page.

       -u, --user=USER
	      run lp5250d as USER

       -H, --help
	      display this help and exit

       -v, --version
	      output version information and exit

EXAMPLES

       lp5250d env.DEVNAME=LINPRT1 env.IBMMFRTYPMDL='*HP4' as400sys
	      Connect  to as400sys as the printer LINPRT1, using host print transform on the AS/400 to print to an HP Laserjet or compatible using
	      lpr.

       lp5250d env.DEVNAME=LINPRT1 env.IBMMFRTYPMDL='*OKI184IBM' outputcommand=''scs2ascii | lpr -Poki' as400sys
	      Print to an Okidata Microline 184 Turbo on the local print queue named `oki'.

       lp5250d env.DEVNAME=PSPRT outputcommand='scs2ps > scs$$.ps' as400sys
	      Convert spooled files into PostScript(R) files.
