Alan, We have just upgraded to the latest Zebra and still use the Seagull drivers with no problems. They have been upgraded somewhat since 2007 so make sure you get the latest version.
http://www.seagullscientific.com/aspx/thermal_95.aspx Unless you want to do really complex manipulation I'd use the VFP reporting system unless you need to do things like embedded label numbering or in line barcoding. Using the ??? command does work but you have to be careful on getting the page lengths of the labels exactly on a line break.

I'm starting a project that will require labels to be printed using a Zebra GK420t label printer. I'm currently collating information with a view to determining the best approach. I'll be making the printer use it's own functionality to print by sending it ZPL commands, as opposed to trying to achieve this using VFP report layouts. I see people have done this using the VFP '???' command. Does that work through a USB connection ? I've seen a post from Dave about using drivers from Seagull as opposed to the manufacturer drivers. This post was from 2007, would the recommendation still be to use these drivers ? Would it be better to try and use a shell script or even a .NET assembly to do the raw comms with the printer ?
