IT just might be that your printer is junk.

Wrong, serial is always hot pluggable.
ADB is NOT hot pluggable.
This always kind of frustrated me. ADB has all the features necessary
for it, and it even works 99.99999% of the time, but until the Powerbook
G3 Wallstreet and above there was risk of blowing things up. If only
Apple had had the foresight to electrically protect it, it could have
been a nice feature and saved some heartache :)
That said, I've been known to hotswap ADB now and then with no trouble,
even with the knowledge it may break things. But don't do it to any
particularly special machines :)
I've done it a fair amount. I've never had trouble with damage but it
can cause software problems. The most common one is the mouse having a
really slow tracking speed.
