Re: Using Parallel Port Zip Drive and Printer

[Ahbaid Gaffoor <ahbaidg guyana net gy>]

I tried doing this but it was a lot of grief, so I got around this
several ways:

1) If you have a LAN run the zip drive off of a pc on the LAN and the
   printer off another PC.

2) Add a second parallel port and dedicate it to the ZIP drive

hope this helps...
