You might hook up the ImageWriter to the `modem' port.  ImageWriters
don't care which serial port they are hooked up to--though this idea
doesn't work so well if you are already using the modem port for
something like a modem.

As for actually hooking up to the `printer' port, maybe the
Communications Tool box has a user interface that will let you.
Anybody played with it enough to know?

I know you can get it through APDA (800-282-2732 or 408-562-3910) or
wait for System 7.0 sometime next year(?).
