Why we are free?

Anyone should ask this question. Why Barcode Maker is free while (all) barcode maker software with high quality and customization and paid and quiet expansive.
Here's the answer:
I build Barcode Maker for a company that needed it on it's access software for data managment.
After, I don't know what to do with all this work! I then decided to turn it on Visual Basic .net to make available for all people on the net. It took a month for me to do so.
Ask for price?
I'm a student and I don't have time for technical support, so how can I ask for price.

I'm experimenting with a Zebra TTP8200 thermal printer. For my application I need to print plotter type traces continuously until the user hits a stop button. I've had a play with the ZPL language and I can successfully generate bitmap data and dump out my bitmap a line (or few lines) at a time by outputting the ZPL as raw data.
I'm using some Microsoft demo code to output the raw data to the printer and this works great, bar one issue: the spooler. It turns out that every time I output some data using the MS rawprn.exe code it is actually spooled as a print job and then transmitted to the printer. This takes up to 10 seconds to get through the spooler, obviously too slow. Disabling spooling in the driver doesn't help, it just means that the program hangs while the job is passed through the spooler and printing completes.
Is there a way to bypass the spooler and output data straight to this USB printer? My research so far hasn't turned up anything likely looking in the Windows API. Ideally, I'd like to be able to use the printer like it was a serial printer - open the port and shove data in.Many thanks in advance for any hints!
