Two Printers!!!!!1

Is Zedbra actually Zebra? In any case, make sure you have the
appropriate drivers for the printer
http://www.zebra.com/SD/drivers.htm

This effect is often the result of the computer sending data to the
printer faster than the printer can process it. The result is the
printer buffer fills and data gets dropped. So, the printer prints what
is in the buffer and then there is some data missing so either the
garbled stream is undefined so the printer stops or happens to map to
proper but nonsensesical output so you see garbage on the printout.

Try setting the printer port used to SPP or standard parallel port or
bi-directional parallel port or similar but not ECP or EPP or ECP & EPP.

It might work to simply switch printers as between ports making sure to
make the change in Windows Printers and Faxes setup.

Let us know.
