Trying to install an Iomega Zip 100 drive connected to a parallel port on an XP box.

No luck. It will not see the drive.

All current drivers for the Zip drive are installed.

Any ideas?
Thanks

1. Double check the mode that the parallel port is set to, It needs to be ECP/EPP mode.

2. Verify the power supply for the ZIP drive. The supply going bad is a common problem.

I just had this same problem on a computer. Setting the printer port to ECP or EPP in the bios did not solve the problem. The zip drive was only recognized after I set the port to PS2 mode instead.
