Looks like you can use ZPL with that printer, my suggestion would be to generate a ZPL string instead. Head over to [Labelary Online ZPL Viewer](http://labelary.com/viewer.html) and you can see an example.

See this post as using system.net.httpPost to send it to the printer.

The printer may or may not accept a print with this command, Zerbra branded printers work great, but I've have printers that emulate ZPL not work with this script, but I was able to use the TCP/UDP driver to connect and send the ZPL through that instead.
