Support for Zebra printers? (And generally, looking for input on adding profiles) #688

Found your library in an old forum post asking how to control an Epson with a Raspberry Pi. I am intrigued by the library and it looks amazing. Excellent work!

I don't even have a printer yet. I'm looking around for models (perhaps used) and Zebra seems reliable/reputable and in a similar league to Epson (and above no-name models). However, I don't see any mention of Zebra in the profiles, or in issues.

I took a look at the contribution info in the docs and didn't see much a la "how to extend this library." Would one just study an existing yaml and see what they can do? I see the codepages are a big portion; are those commonly listed in vendor manuals?

Are there any guidelines about what to look for in a printer that suggests it would/wouldn't work with this library? Happy to take a swing at adding something new here, but would also want confidence it's feasible first to guide the buying decision. While I'm comfortable with python and reading docs and experimenting in general, I have no idea what I'm doing in the thermal printer world. Thanks!!
