If ppa is linked into the kernel you have to connect a powered on ZIP drive from boot to right detect it. A bit of kernel messages to know at least in wich mode your parallel port was, could be helpful ;-). Also the ZIP drive should be a bit verbose.

Woow that' s oobsoletee. parport automatically schedule the same parallel port between pardevices (such ppa and lp). You can run ppa and lp at the same time on the same parallel port.
