Have you tried 'modprobe imm'? If it's a Zip Plus, which says 'autodetect' on
the cable you'll have to use the IMM protocol instead of PPA.
Also, have you got SCSI disk support configured? The Zip drive is actually a
scsi disk a built-in SCSI-to-Parallel adaptor. Try 'modprobe scsi_mod;
modprobe sd_mod' to install the SCSI subsystem and the SCSI disk driver
before loading the ppa (or imm) driver.
Failing that, can you tell us what exactly ppa tells you? Do dmesg after
inserting ppa and pull out the last 10 or so lines (plus any parport-related
stuff).
