I have a 100mb parallel port zip disk on a Debian 2.2.17 system (Libranet distribution) and I cannot get it to work, I installed the low level SCSI drivers for both old and new, and when I restarted into KDE went into a terminal window and typed:
depmod -a modprobe imm I got this result: /lib/modules/2.2.17/SCSI/imm.o: init_module: device or resource busy /lib/modules/2.2.17/SCSI/imm.o: insmod /lib/modules /2.2.17/SCSI/imm.o failed /lib/modules/2.2.17/SCSI/imm.o: insmod imm failed I know all the cables are hooked up ok because the printer works fine (note: I configured the printer after I tried the zip drive) HELP |
i found out-here is how
(FOR DEBIAN BASED SYSTEMS)
1. use printtool and remove all printers (for now) 2. as root: (make sure you install the drivers with your kernel as modules- by recompiling your kerne) depmod -a modprobe (either: imm or ppa)-depends if it is a new zip drive or old one-if one doesn't work try the other then in edit /etc/fstab and add: /dev/sda /zip /vfat no auto,fw,user,nosuid,sync,mode=0777 then mkdir /zip then mount /zip then ls /zip should show you everything on that zip drive unmount /zip when you are done 3. reinstall your printer |
