Hello, I`m trying to configure my hp deskjet 520 and i`m running into some trouble. The handbook says it all has to do with the interupt driven configuration, it does not work with some new hp printers. I have to switch to the polled mode. "If you want polled mode, remove in your /boot/device.hints file, the following line: hint.ppc.0.irq="N"". Then they say i have to rebuild my kernel. Now i ask myself what the /boot/device.hints file has to do with my kernel. What sort of file is /boot/device.hints and why do i have to rebuild my kernel. Thanks inadvance, Justin.
