[Fwd: Zip/printer -- Pseudo-problem is a HALLUCINATION!

[Benjamin Sher <sher07 bellsouth net>]

Dear friends:

Kurt is right. The bubble has burst. It was in fact a HALLUCINATION, a
digital illusion or mirage. What a disappointment. To say the least. I
removed the cartridge, "deleted" all the files from /mnt/zip that showed
up on the screen, then reinserted the cartridge, did an ls, and, by God,
not a single file in it. Now I am back to square one. 

So what is the easiest way to configure a Zip cartride so that I can
alternate it with my printer?
