On Win98, there was a diagnostic/head cleaning/etc. set of software tools
but is there something similar under Win2000? Or, a generic version for
HP printers?

Thanks.

Maybe a stupid question, but have you tried the 98 drivers for the
Windows 2000 setup? Sometimes that will work, sometimes not.

Sam,

According to the HP web site, the most current driver is already integrated
into the Windows 2000 OS. I am running an older HP870Cxi printer that is
similar to yours, and I can access the cleaning and alignment utilities
under the printer control panel screen. They are just under a different
tab. I am running XP, and this was installed over the Windows ME I used to
use so this might be different or the toolkit may have already been there.
