There is an even less convoluted option - try the Rand McNally Zip Code Atlas or the Rand McNally Commercial Atlas and Marketinng Guides.  Both offer zip code maps  while the former offers zip code overlays on state and metro area base maps.

The scale of these maps/overlays is certainly not optimum but it does alllow one to identify a range of zip codes for geographic locations.

Greetings,

Maybe this is simpler:
To get a map showing zipcode boundaries that you can download or print,
I  go to American Factfinder (click on "Map and geography"):

http://www.census.gov/geo/www/maps/CP_OnLineMapping.htm

Choose "reference maps".  Create a custom map by selecting change
"boundaries", and select "5-Digit ZIP Code Tabulation Area".  Deselect
other unneeded map info (census tract and block groups, etc). "Update"
map, and you are good to go.

Aloha,
ross
