Using a Zip drive and a printer simultaneously

SuSE Linux: Versions since 2.0.34

Request:

You want to use both printers and ZIP drives which are attached to different parallel ports.

Procedure:

The kernel must support both the ZIP drive and the parallel port with a modularized driver. The module ppa must be loaded first, then the module lp must be loaded. It is necessary to specify the used port explicitly when loading the module lp.
