Serial usually isn't hot pluggable, sorry (IIRC)

Subject: ImageWriter... and fighting with Chooser
Even when I was little, I never liked Chooser... So now... it's still
giving me problems...
So long story short, I have an ImageWriter I that I want to test out; I
found a cable for it today, but have had no success getting any Mac to see
it. I'm not sure if it's a problem with the printer, the cable (which I
*think* is right, but I don't know)
It seemed like it was connected to my Classic, but... there's no word
processing application on it, so I couldn't print anything. So I tried my
PB Duo 230, but there were no ports when I clicked on ImageWriter in
Chooser. So I moved to my 7500 which is running 9.2.2... I select
ImageWriter, and selected the printer port, (Which is what it is plugged
into) and... nothing... From Simple Text, when I try to print, it just
says "Choose a printer in Chooser" Now, I think that's what I just did...
Why isn't this working? Is Serial hot-pluggable? Because if not... that
may be the problem, since I tried it in the modem port also (without
restarting)
Anyways, insights into the workings of Chooser would be helpful... Thanks
