Hi guys!,
I've found a printer port Iomega ZIP-drive a while ago and want to

Forgive me if this seems a little shallow, but
it sounds as if the Zip disk isn't formatted (or
not formatted vfat). Even if it worked before,
in the hot humid weather (that much of the
northern hemisphere is now experiencing) Zip

Make sure you have lp module unloaded. Use lsmod to list them.
To remove rmmod. Also, make sure the kernel has lp services as
a module. If lp shows up in lsmod then your ok as far as the kernel
is concerned. Just remove lp with rmmod.
Then the new zip drive use a new driver! It is imm.o, not ppa
The other thing you can do if you arn't ready for 2.2.x yet is to unload
the lp module.

Ok let me correct myself. What you did was to highlevel format the
