Here what you need to get it going on mandrake 7 if it should have installed
imm driver
 insert the following into etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit warning do not left click on the
file or you will reboot the machine

/sbin/modprobe parport

/sbin/modprobe imm

see the attached file for more info on where to put thing in fstab and
rc.sysinit

it quick hack but it works and the mandrake kernal dosen't copile the module
for the zip drive too well
believe me i've tried.
