RE: printing problems, ppa zip disk, and RH 5.0

[Dodd Graham Civ USAFE CSS/SCBS]

Ignacio,
          just for the record, the manufacturer doesn't know what he's
talking about, I have a zip drive hooked up to my Epson 600 and it works
great. 

The problem is having the correct modules loaded, either lp.o or ppa.o

Check the Zip mini-howto, it explains all.

Graham
