Yes you can use ThinkJet with Mac. It is easier and cheaper if
the printer is a serial one. For the driver I use "Printlink
Collection" made by GDT Softworks. You can order from MacConnection,
I think it was something like $59.00. It comes with a serial cable
so you do not have to worry about cabling.
I am quite happy with it and I recommend it.
Hope this helps.
