As it's not probing 378, you've probably already got something registered there, e.g. lp. Are you running a kernel old enough that it only supports *either* lp *or* ppa, but not both? Try lsmod to see what's there and rmmod lp insmod ppa to see if that works. More recent kernels with parport can handle a printer connected through the zip drive like dos can.
