The paride home page has detailed instructions about how to use the
drivers - which can also be found in the Documentation directory of the
2.0.35 kernel - look for paride.txt.
If you've been having specific problems, please contact me with the
details.
Please note, that the only PP LS-120 that I know to have been tested is
the Imation SuperDrive. There are other products on the market now,
some of which use different adapters.

With 2.0 kernels you cannot use both printer and LS-120 at the same time.
