The problem is that you are using the GENERIC kernel you have to make an
customized one.

Enter these lines in your custom Kernel:
# Supported devices:
# vpo   Iomega Zip Drive
#       Requires SCSI disk support ('scbus' and 'da'), best
#       performance is achieved with ports in EPP 1.9 mode.

controller      ppbus0
controller      vpo0    at ppbus?
device          lpt0    at ppbus?
device          plip0   at ppbus?
device          ppi0    at ppbus?
device		lpbb0   at ppbus?	   
controller      scbus0
device          da0
       
Or something like that... 
Then make your kernel reboot and then it will work.....
