Well yes, of course, the module for the IDE one was ide-floppy IIRC (fro memory)
and it didn't get loaded either.

Ah, I understand. So that's why my printer was detected properly, but not
installed, in case the detection got it wrong ?
Ah well, that's okay then. As long as the parallel device do work properly, I
guess a little bit of manual tweaking is acceptable.

Hmmm yes, maybe ;-P

I uploaded the file.There are loads of errors in there, not sure what to look
for. Only thing that caught my eye were errors like :

** ERROR **: file gam_tree.c: line 146 (gam_tree_remove): assertion failed:
(g_node_n_children(node->node) == 0)
aborting...
end from FAM server connection
failed to read() from server connection
end from FAM server connection
end from FAM server connection
end from FAM server connection
end from FAM server connection
failed to read() from server connection
end from FAM server connection


But I am not sure if it had anything to do with my parallel ZIP drive problems ???

does not?

Yes.
