There are two solutions (I havn't tried them - just read about them): a) upgrade to the latest kernels (2.1.??) and use parport which can share the parallel port. In fact you may be able to patch the 2.0 kernels - have a look on the Linux Zip drive site. b) compile the printer driver as a module (lp.o) and compile the zip driver as a module. If you want to print, do "modprobe lp.o". Then if you want to use the zip drive, do "rmmod lp.o" "modprobe scsi.o"?
