|
| Does anyone have a basic understanding of how software drivers for hardware works (such as the drivers for a printer), or at least knowledge of somewhere I could go to find out about this stuff? |

| basically the drivers send the appropriate signals to the hardware (usually using registers mapped to lower memory addresses [<1M]). If you're interested in low level type stuff I recomend Operating Systems: Design and Implementation 2nd edition; lots of good info on how operating systems and drivers and stuff work |
