Re: [Sheflug] Re: Iomega Zip Drive Parallel
I dunno if this has been mentioned yet, but just to ensure that you
know:
If you are using a parallel port print and a zip drive, ensure that you
either load/modprobe the zip module then the printer modules, or that
you build the zip driver into the kernel and keep the printer driver as
a module.
There are problems if the printer modules are loaded first, because it
takes over the parallel port, and the zip module will fail to load.
There is a full expaination of exactly what happens in the zip
mini-howto, but that's the general idea.
