Mine reports: parport0: PC-style at 0x378, irq 7 [SPP,ECP,ECPEPP,ECPPS2] parport0: Printer, HEWLETT-PACKARD DESKJET 720C parport1: PC-style at 0x278, irq 5 [SPP] parport1: no IEEE-1284 device present.

My kernel config (2.2.1) related to the zip is: (I use 'make config') Parallel port support = Y PC-style hardware = Y Plug and Play support = Y Autoprobe for parallel devices = Y SCSI Support = Y SCSI disk support = Y IOMEGA parallel port (ppa) = Y (I set the following options because I'm using a really ancient parallel card for this drive... you probably don't need them) ppa/imm slow (but safe) EPP-16 = Y ppa/imm Assume slow parport control register = Y After I compiled with these options, and rebooted, my zip drive was recognized and worked fine.
