Get a USB and leave your pp for a printer. USB Zips have been supported since 7.1. They are easy to set-up and use and with hotplug they can be swapped between systems on the fly. My 1st Zip was a pp, this was years ago in my Win only days. I tried to diasy chain a pp Printer to the drive and both gave me nothing but problems. I gave that drive away and have been using USB since with no thought of regression. Charles
