I have the (older?) version in which the line printer and zip reluctantly share the parallel port - both as modules. The system wakes up with the printer owning the port. To use the zip, I must "rmmod lp" "insmod ppa" To get the printer functionality back I must similarly "rmmod ppa" "insmod lp" I don't think this is necessary in the 2.1.xxx kernels - is that so, anyone?
