The solution is to buy a cheap ISA LPT card, plug it in and connect the Zip to the Motherboard LPT and the printer to the LPT card. With the card you will get two LPT ports (LPT 1 & 2). Make sure to adjust the IRQ on your LPT card. It always uses the standard IRQ when you buy it and will conflict with the LPT on your computer.
