You already have it, unless you compiled your kernel (in which case you 
wouldn't be asking this, so you didn't). You can load it with the following 
command:

sudo modprobe imm

Just to confirm, your Zip drive is an external parallel one, right? If this is 
correct, and the module imm doesn't work, you can also try the ppa module, 
which supports (even) older models.
