    We wrote HP about the Designjet 120nr:

    Hi Jim,

    I have just heard back from the Designjet content team and there are no (nor will there be) 10.6 drivers available for this product (Designjet 120). They are officially not supported for 10.6.

    I wish I had better news!

    Thank you for your action on this.

    That’s too bad, we really like this network printer (Designjet 120nr), but all is not lost, we run the HP RIP on an older Apple (PPC) Xserve and will continue to be able to use it for a while.
    As soon as we bought the 120 you all released the Designjet 130(nr) and abandoned the 120, we really wish you folks would follow through and at least help those of us that bought the “test” model (120), as the success of the 130 is self evident.
    These printer last a fairly long time and I don’t throw out good equipment because of the availability of a newer model.

    Our studio bought the HP Photosmart B9180 and we love the fact that it has built in networking and prints like a dream with the Vivera ink.

    We like your printers and pray for relief of your business model.
