Question: HP 4MV, printer utility, Leopard

With a MacBook Pro and Leopard, I'm unable to use the HP printer utility 
with my 4MV. It's been handy for troubleshooting and occasionally 
changing a static IP address, although I can do that from the printer 
control panel.

Is there a substitute for the printer utility? I experimented a few 
weeks ago with using telnet to communicate with the printer. I forgot 
I'd done that until the printer today happened to show me my name on its 
panel instead of "ready," or whatever else I was looking for. It's still 
working fine, though.

I don't know enough about the open-source alternatives, but Google in HP 
and printer utility doesn't show me any. I still have an erratic Pismo I 
can boot into OS9 to use the original utility, but I don't expect that 
to be around nearly as long as the 4MV.

Am I missing something obvious?
