You "may" need to reboot before it works. Something tells me that there's an incompatibility issue between the Zip drive code and having the printer and Zip drive daisy chained. Knowing that they were daisy chained from the start would have helped initially. Not sure where to find the specific pieces for the Zip drive within code.

If so, you need to make sure that you have scsi emulation setup. Did you read through the How-To for cd burning that I referenced in a previous e-mail? It's very insightful on this subject.
