I have just tried some little tests.

I have the Zip driver loaded, a Zip disc installed, the IZipFS directory
showing on screen.

1. I have just printed out your reply using turbodrivers.

2. I have printed an Impression file directly from the Zip drive.

I am using a StrongARM equipped machine and Turbodrivers ver.4.06 printing
to a Canon BJC 4000.  No problems!

Presumably our machines are congfigured slightly differently.
