Hi,
I'm new to the world of linux and devices connected
through the parallel port, so this question (and its
answer) might be trivial.
I've connected an iomega zip drive through the parallel
port and linux seems to have a problem finding the device.
(The device is accessible through win98/winNT). When I
try to load the ppa module I get the following response:
ppa: Version 1.42
ppa: Probing port 03bc
ppa: Probing port 0378
ppa: SPP port present
ppa: PS/2 bidirectional port present
ppa: EPP 1.9 with hardware direction protocol
ppa: Probing port 0278
scsi : 0 hosts.
When linux (that is redhat5.2 linux) it produces the
following log
.....

Since I see the same behavior on another machine, it means that
I must be forgetting to do something very trivial.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
