Of course, to state the obvious, you're best bet is just to junk this printer 
and buy one that support PS, but, I understand your situation.

Failing that, check out the following:

http://openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-DesignJet_110_plus_nr

This refers to a Designjet 110 plus (nr), so I'm not sure if this is exactly 
what you have, but this is a good place to start.

Cheers!
