What is fire wire?
"Firewire" is the term used for a certain type of serial port on computers. Similar uses are USB. The Name is 1394 for "FireWire". The term firewire was meant to express that it was a faster connection than standard serial or parallel ports.

What is the difference between serial and non-serial printers?
Serial printers are connected via the serial (COM) port of the computer. "Non-serial" printers are connected through another interface, such as the parallel port, USB, ADB. FireWire, etc...

What is the purpose of a firewire port in a computer system?
i am assuming that you know what a firewire is. not all computers come with a firewire input. if your computer doesn't have a firewire IN. then you have to buy a card, which gives you the acessability to plug a firewire cable into your computer.
