As well as the new ppa which does this, you can apparently compile printer
support and Zip drive support as modules. Then "all" you have to do is
unload the modules, swap the cables?, and reload the other module!

I've got the parallel version and I'm happy with it's speed - and I save $$
on my phone bills.  On a PC at work I had to change the BIOS from "ECP+EPP"
to just "EPP", otherwise it would use PS/2 style rather than EPP.
