God, I love step-by-step instructions! Ok, printing works that way.
Weird. Mobo is an Asus P5A. It doesn't have SPP available as an option.
In the kernel, what's not configured is as follows:

# CONFIG_SCSI_IZIP_EPP16 is not set
# CONFIG_SCSI_IZIP_SLOW_CTR is not set

Dunno if they would make a difference.

To avoid attachment problems (the last attachments I sent you didn't get
to you, I guess, but they *did* get to the linux-kernel list), I just
pasted a script below, of what transpired.

Thanks,
