Is it possible to print to a Zebra belt printer from a web app?

Is it possible to print to a Zebra belt printer from a web app?

The app I am maintaining is, to put it mildly, long in the tooth and badly
in need of a rewrite. It is a Compact Framework app that runs on a Windows
CE device, using .NET 1.1 and Visual Studio 2003 (XP Mode to develop).
IOW, it's a royal pain in the donkey to maintain. There is also a hue and
cry from the users for something more modern.
In considering a replacement, I would like to go the web app route. But
the big question/potential dealbreaker: Is it possible to print to Zebra
belt printers from a web app on a smartphone?
The intent would be for the users to access the web app/site from a device
such as a smartphone or "phablet" that would be connected to the belt
printer. Is this feasible, or pie-in-the-sky?
