Meaning of parport message on bootup

[Dan Griswold <dgriswol@mail.smu.edu>]

Hi all,

I was hoping somebody could translate the following bootup message for
me:

    parport0: detected irq 7; use procfs to enable interrupt-driven
    operation.

What would I do with 'procfs'? Could the fact that I don't have
'interrupt-driven operation' enabled be the cause of my print-spooling
problems?

Thanks in advance,

Dan
