I have a 722C HP printer and a APTI IDE Zip drive and I don't think that
my parralel port and my SCSI emulation is setup correctly or at least I
have tried what every one has suggested and I still can't get my printer
or Zip drive working.  I have put these two together because I think the
problems are related.  I have also tried a 560C HP, which you support(same
result).
Here is what I have done: I have 5 Items below:  Thanks in advance for
your help.

1) I have configured my Kernel this way.  Here is the contents of
my /etc/conf.modules:

alias scsi_hostadapter ppa
alias parport_lowlevel paraport_pc

alias sound sb
pre-install sound /sbin/insmod sound dmabuf=1
options opl3 io=0x388
alias midi awe_wave
post-install awe_wave /bin/sfxload /etc/midi/GU11-ROM.SF2
options sb dma16=5 io=0x220 mpu_io=0x330 dma=1 irq=5

2)Here is the results of my boot up using this kernel:

3) Here is what it says when I try using printools:

/dev/lp0 not detected
/dev/lp1 not detected
/dev/lp2 not detected

I'm using the pbm2ppa with my 722C HP and I know you don't support this
but I can't even get printools to detect a 560C HP printer you do
support.  Should it at least detect a printer at this point?

4) here is what is says when I use the command /sbin/lsmod ppa:
