HP Designjet 120nr lack of support in Snow Leopard 10.6

Is HP going to orphan the HP Designjet 120nr large format printer in Snow Leopard?

 

At present because there is no support for this printer in 10.6, I have had to install the 10.5 driver and that works (though I guess only in 32 bit applications).

 

The other problem is that the previous HP printer utilities do not work and therefore no way to calibrate etc. 

 

Designjet 120NR - cannot get the previous System Maint Utility to work - it crashes:

Given that the HP Designjet 130nr is apparently supported in 10.6 and it is so similar to the 120nr, I can't see why HP can't easily update the 120nr (or give me a 130nr to replace their now deliberately obsoleted 120nr printer).
