You need to load the parport and a couple of other kernel modules. From a
command line (such as a konsole window), type
modprobe parport
modprobe paride
There is one more you need to load, but don't remember which (I have an
parallel port Orb drive, not a ZIP drive). Go to any search engine and
search for "linux paride". There is a web page with instructions for all
kinds of parallel port drives.
