The problem is that you are using the GENERIC kernel you have to make an
customized one.
Enter these lines in your custom Kernel:
# Supported devices:
# vpo Iomega Zip Drive
# Requires SCSI disk support ('scbus' and 'da'), best
# performance is achieved with ports in EPP 1.9 mode.
controller ppbus0
controller vpo0 at ppbus?
device lpt0 at ppbus?
device plip0 at ppbus?
device ppi0 at ppbus?
device lpbb0 at ppbus?
controller scbus0
device da0
Or something like that...
Then make your kernel reboot and then it will work.....
