If the Thinkjet is an RS232 (serial), not HPIB/IEEE488, you should
be able to hook it to the C64 "RS232" port, through one of the
standard converters that makes the C64 port into real RS232 levels.
See other discussions on the net for pointers to such converters;
I made my own, and have indeed used it with a Thinkjet.  Jameco
in Belmont (I think), CA sells one, and I'm sure others do, too;
about $35, I think.
