External, parallel port CD-RW (HP CD-Writer 7200) and Linux (RH7.3)

Hi all,

Does anybody know how to get linux to recognize this device?
(Hewlett-Packard CD-Writer Plus 7200, externel)

I found the paraport/paride stuff on torque.net, but it all seems horribly
out of date, refering to compiling in modules that are already in the
kernel, it seems.

If anyone could please give me /any/ hint, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Pablo

Nevermind, got it working...it was actually ridiculously easy.
