[PARPORT] Redhat Linux 7.3 With Parallel Port Tape Drive (HP)

Hi,

   I have redhat 7.3 on my machine with just about every option installed (as I
didn't know what I should install - I am a bit of a newbie to Linux).
I also have a HP Colorado 14GB External (Parallel port) tape drive which I
currently use on my windows XP box.
I am trying to 100% switch over to Linux and the tape drive and my (less
important) parallel port scanner are the only things left to switch over.

I have read through the mailing list archives, but to be honest, some of it is
a bit over my head.

Can anyone answer the following questions for me ?

1. Can I use the tape drive with linux or am I wasting my time trying to ?
2. What steps do I need to take in order to use the tape drive ?
3. Once the tape drive is working, what software will I require to do scheduled
backups ?

Many Thanks

Gary Taylor
