Thanks for the reply. Late last night I managed to get the thing running;
the problems I had were (1) I was using imm instead of ppa, and (2) I
hadn't included SCSI General.
Now that it IS running, I find that the printer works fine without using
modules and moreover it works from the port on the drive; very nice :-)
This is probably because the latest kernel (2.2.5) provides an improved
driver.
