This is a bug: you ought to be able to print regardless of the port's
mode. What exactly happens when you try to print, through the ZIP
drive, when in EPP mode? Are there any kernel messages? What is the
behaviour of this:
# echo blah > /dev/lp0
Being able to use more than one device at a time is kinda the
_point_. :-)

Do you still find it faster under 2.2? Can you show me timings? As I
said, I found it quite a lot faster to do a 'cp', but I think a lot of
that is to do with VM changes rather than anything in the driver.

It probably won't help, although relevant sections of dmesg output
might.
Thanks,
