I have an HP DeskJet 870Cse which I have used on a Windows machine, now on my Linux machine. I miss a few features of the HP Toolbox present on the Windows machine, and wonder whether they be available. The ones I miss most are cartridge alignment, head clean, and communication test. I've used apropos, GNOME help, and Google. Google found some semi-hits, the best one looks like HPLIP. I used the link there to http://hpinkjet.sourceforge.net/, but was unable to find a distribution specifically for Fedora. The support I found for Fedora was HPIJS, which I have already installed. Further searching of sourceforge led to the HPLIP 0.9.7 release in source form. My questions are: Is HPLIP the best bet for these functions? If not, what? If so, does HPLIP support the features I specifically asked about? If so, is there an rpm for the install on FC2? If so, may I use yum to do the install? What repository? If this is not the proper install, then what is? Source? Thanks very much for your time.

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you. I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
