The dip switches are set at: ddddddu udududdd (u=up; d=down). That's for 19200 baud. (Set it in the GS/OS control panel, too). Drivers aren't really necessary for text printing, but they are available for Appleworks 3 and up (from the NAUG BBS, I think). GS/OS Printer Drivers are also available, from Seven Hills Software. Once the dip switches are set, you should be able to print from ProTerm, or Davex, or using a pr#1 in Applesoft.
