Hi! No, this is Linux, you don't have to reinstall :-) Well, I have just recently switched to Debian and haven't yet set up all my hardware to work with it (including printer) - SUSE was much friendlier in this respect. My solution for switching from parallel zip drive to printer under SUSE (no reason why it shouldn't work with Debian) was to unload the zip driver and load the drivers necessary for printing:
rmmod ppa (need unmount zip drive first) insmod parport insmod parport_pc insmod lp There should be more elegant ways, though ...
