I couldn't get my Zebra printer to print well from the GUI because even with the exact right settings it failed...
...so I created a script and hooked it into the KDE context menu. Figured I'd share it here to show others how easy it is to add things there:
1) Create a script, put it in something like ~/.local/bin/zebra-print
2) Create a desktop file in ~/.local/share/kio/servicemenus/zebra-print.desktopSee file content in image below (since it doesn't fit in 500 characters)

@anthropy I just have one question?
How good is it at printing zebras?

@acidiclight it does the stripes rather well if you print barcodes (which is why the company is called Zebra!)

@anthropy Can you also put them into subdirectories within the context menu this way?

@Natanox Yes, all you have to do for that is to add an entry like this:
[Desktop Entry] <-- under this section
X-KDE-Submenu=Name of Menu
