A friend with A Canon BJ 620 had the same problem with
scanner, zip and printer on same port and uses the
raster driver for the printer and now no problems.  I
had problems with my Epson 740 and a Zip drive sharing
so I didn't even try workarounds and installed an extra
parallel port.  No problems now.
