Two possibilities (I used both, in succession):

1. rmmod lp  before trying to insmod ppa (I included the rmmod as the 
first line in the script that mounted ZIP drive).

2. Buy a parallel port card (something about $20 IIRC) and hook the
printer and the ZIP separately. The end of all conflicts.

A related question: Are Epson clones of ZIP drives known to (not) have
the "click of death" problem?

                Best wishes,
                                Oleg
