*** Hi guy's,
Try to check your mail that says "Zip" in it or visit first the archives
before you ask the same question that got answered x-times in the last few
weeks. I just responded to the same problem a few days ago...:-(
The thing is that printing through a Zip is not supported in the present
kernels (except in 2.0.34 I think) so you can't use a printer and a Zip on
the same port. You have 2 possibilities: Either work with loadable modules
- basically you load a specific "driver" when you need it - or get an
additional LPT port card and connect the Zip to LPT1 (lp0) because
otherwise it doesn't work, and the printer on LPT2 (lp1)...
Okay!?
Lots of luck,
Zoki.
