Well, is the Zip plugged in and turned on?  8)

Well, it ain't there.  Check your cable, remove any printer and/or 
switchbox that you may have in the way as well.  Check your BIOS 
settings for the parallel port and swap around the possible modes to 
see if that helps.

No, your config looks fine; it should work.  If you're 100% certain 
that it's all connected and there's nothing possible that might 
interfere, it would help if you could identify your parallel port 
chipset (usually the multi-I/O chip on your motherboard) and mail the 
details of your problem to ppbus@smith.net.au, and we'll get the boyz 
to work on it.
