Haven't printed on Zebra devices but I have on other ESC/POS bluetooth thermal printers. As far as I know Zebra devices accept ESC/POS commands.
There are several packages available. That being said all of the ones I tried had either limited functionality or had a fair amount of bugs.
1) https://pub.dev/packages/flutter_bluetooth_basic . This is the one I opted for, didn't want to reinvent the wheel but at the same time some things are just better when you do it yourself (requires knowledge about ESC/POS commands for your use-case).
2) https://pub.dev/packages/esc_pos_bluetooth . This package is made by the same people as #1, comes with a good amount of ESC/POS commands available, has some bugs.
3) https://pub.dev/packages/blue_thermal_printer . Tried this one briefly, it did work but overall had more bugs than #2 and lacks support for iOS.
Lastly, to prove I'm not speaking from the top of my head heh, here are my results:
