Run "dmesg" and send me a copy of the output. The ppa driver is one of the
most noisy SCSI drivers (for kernel messages - mostly when it trys to figure
out the parallel port) but I can't help the fact that the driver has to deal with
something like 20+ variants of parallel ports (and some people have this idea
that all parallel ports are equal).
Make sure that you not trying to use the "ZIP Plus" drive as this requires a
completely different driver (stable but not submitted to Linus due to
feature/code freeze on the 2.1.x kernel).

PS: I really need to clean up my web pages...
Also I need to upload a patched "jazip" source code sometime.
