You will need the following set when you compile your kernel:
CONFIG_MODULES=y <--loadable module support
CONFIG_KERNELD=y <--autoload of modules
CONFIG_SCSI=y <--scsi support
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD=y <--scsi disk support
CONFIG_SCSI_PPA=m <--the scsi/ppa for the Zip
CONFIG_SCSI_PPA_HAVE_PEDANTIC=y <--only in 2.0.34
CONFIG_PRINTER=m <--printer support
*Note* those that are "m" (modules) *must* be modules, those that are "y"
can be "y" or "m" (if "m" is applicable).
As for the printer working, I suggest removing the entry as root
from the control panel, then recompiling with the above items (and others
you may require), then setting up the printer again. Also check to make
sure you do not have erroneaous entries in the /var/spool/lpd tree -
delete them all (before adding the printer). I have had success with the
printer set to /dev/lp1 (/var/spool/lpd/lp), simply "named" lp. YMMV
