[SLE] Zip + Printer not working
Hallo to every one. I am new to this list, since I always posted my messages to NS, but since I believe in mails here I am and with a big problem. I have susu 6.3 installed to my pc and from the first momment I have a big problem. I cannot use the printer with my par Zip 100. First the problem was the BIOS Settings (ECP+EPP) where the Zip drive could not be used in linux, while in Win was working fast! Then, I tried the EPP end the zip drive is working fast in Linux, slow in Win, and I cannot use the printer in Linux. It does not appear ay kind of message, works are spooled but are not printed. Any ideas? System: PII 350, SCSI controller: Initio 9090, SCSI Cd ROM. ppa is loaded in boot.local, and printer support is loaded via lpd deamon from yast.

Hi there, This bit is taken from the SuSE 6.1 manual, but for some reason I'm pretty sure it'll work on 6.3 as well, hope this helps: In order to use the parallel port version, SCSI drive support as well as the parport and ppa-driver of the kernel are needed; the ppa-driver is hidden below the "SCSI low-level drivers"! To avoid conflicting with a printer, the ppa driver should be compiled as a module and loaded using the command 'modprobe' (vgl. section 13.2, page 274 SuSE 6.1 manual). The ZIP Diskette can than be accessed just like a SCSI hard drive. See ya, Emerald
