As it's not probing 378, you've probably already got something
registered there, e.g. lp. Are you running a kernel old enough that
it only supports *either* lp *or* ppa, but not both?
Try
lsmod
to see what's there and
rmmod lp
insmod ppa
to see if that works.
More recent kernels with parport can handle a printer connected
through the zip drive like dos can.
Cheers,
