Yep, I remember now ;) The only thing I can really suggest is that you try
the Zip drive on someone else's machine. I don't like the chances of it
being a Linux problem; it looks too hardware like, and I can't see that
you'll have found a bug in such a common driver that no-one else will have
seen before. If it's not the drive (which, after all the stuff you've done,
looks unlikely), then it's probably a port on your computer, I'm afraid. You
might want to try getting another parallel cable & borrow a friends computer
and try running PLIP or something - that should help confirm things?

HTH, anyway,

Alex.
