My manual (for an RS-232 version of the ThinkJet) says that if
the MODE switch (5) is up it will emulate an Epson MX-80 or MX-100 or
IBM graphics printer.  However, I do not know if this works, and
I do not know if the Centronics version has this mode.  

I do intend to write a driver SOMETIME for the ThinkJet, I am using
the HP-IB version (definately no MODE switch) off the Centronics port
using a neato little converter I designed.
