Try this:
in BIOS-Settings check mode of parallel port setting.
If it seems ok, change it, and after rebooting, change it again.
I found the same error messages (absolutely the same) and I'd been sure
that I did not change anything of relevance.
Obviously "something" screwed up my BIOS settings.
Meanwhile I've been told that this could come from a wrong NVRAM checksum,too.
My ZIP works perfectly again - besides, this happened to me on an ACER notebook
which has not connected a CDR to it - and never had!

Betreff: [PARPORT] ZIP/parallel port
Hi,
I have a parallel ZIP100 (of about a century old, think first generation)
that worked perfectly using the ppa module on kernel 2.2.16. Until the fine
day I got my CDR to work. It looks like the ide-scsi module screws up the
fine working of the ZIP drive.
This is what 'dmesg' says:
ppa: Version 2.03 (for Linux 2.2.x)
WARNING - no ppa compatible devices found.
As of 31/Aug/1998 Iomega started shipping parallel
port ZIP drives with a different interface which is
supported by the imm (ZIP Plus) driver. If the
cable is marked with "AutoDetect", this is what has
happened.
scsi : 1 host.
Well, it hasn't got that different interface the message is talking about,
because my zip is from '97 or so. When I try to manually install the ppa
module, it says:
bash-2.04# modprobe ppa
/lib/modules/2.2.16/scsi/ppa.o: init_module: Device or resource busy
Hint: this error can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including
invalid IO or IRQ parameters
/lib/modules/2.2.16/scsi/ppa.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.2.16/scsi/ppa.o failed
/lib/modules/2.2.16/scsi/ppa.o: insmod ppa failed
Anybody some hints?
TIA
