   The best recommendation I can give you about the driver and configuration
   for the switches would be to buy the 1.3 WB/KS upgrade.  I believe on the
   EXTRAS disk you will find the THINKJET Driver and also in the manual that
   comes along with it, tells you how to set the switches.  I don't have the
   information here at work with me now.
     And if the ink is giving you any problems, it's best to just replace the
     ink cartridge, which contains the ink resevouir, plumbing, head and 
     everything.  And it's cheap. (Try priming the cartridge first as stated
     in the first reply here).
