Configuring Zip Drive

[Adilson dos Santos Dantas <adilsond@rio.nutecnet.com.br>]

Hi!

How can I give Zip Drive support in Linux 2.2.9. When I used monkey
(kernel 2.0.30), I can load the Zip Drive module using a script that
unload the printer , load Zip and mount it and another that umount the
Zip and restoure the printer. But it's not easy to use my Zip Drive in a
slink with Kernel 2.2.9. At boot time, the ppa drive say that it cannot
detect the device :(

I use the following modules:

parport_probe
parport_pc
parport
paride
scsi_mod
sd_mod
ppa
lp

But, ppa drive give the error message when it loads but lp module
connects the printer without any problem. If anyone knows how to config
kernel 2.2.9 (It can be any kernel 2.2.x) for using  Iomega Zip Drive
and the pronter at the same port, reply this message.
