Make a directory in your /mnt/ directory called /zip from root prompt -
- cd /mnt/ then mkdir /zip then go to your /etc/fstab file and add this
line

/dev/hdxx	/mnt/zip	vfat	user,noauto,re	0 0

hdxx being whatever your zip drive is, it can be hdd4

also to make sure it can be seen you need to add to /etc/rc.d/rc.local
the following command:

modprobe ppa

That should do it for the zip drive.  I'm curious to see if the printer
starts working.  I've got 2 parallel ports so my zip and printer are
separated, not pass through.  Hope this helps and good luck.

See ya'
