I've been doing that for a while. I have a unix (Linux) machine home. It
is much simpler to capture the file from the printer port (use the mighty
cat, for example) than to run ZDOS in an emulator to do file transfer.
However, printing to postscript is very slow from the Zoomer. I'm using
diablo.geo. It dumps ascii + some escape sequences which should be easily
get ride of. It would be nice to be able to select a generic line printer.
Importing is much more complicated. I'm carrying an ASCII dump of my Emacs
BBDB in my Zoomer until I figure out how to import it to the phone book.

P.S. Where is Chuck Musciano? Are you still on the list? What do you do
with your Zoomer? Are you going to write another Open-Look interface for
the poor Unix users?
