What brand printer is it?  I know someone has written a tool for the Epson
family of printers that will do that, but I am not sure about the others.

  That's why I said "part of the job" my printer isn't any of them but pup
moves the carriage to change the cartridge.

 I apologize about the other wandering message.

 As far as I know `pup' may do part of the job, you can try it on.

I haven't used a deskjet in years, but recently acquired one for my 
Debian box. The black ink seems to be a problem, smearing, skipping, etc.

I seem to remember from back in my Windows days there were some tools in 
the "Toolbox" to do such things as align the ink cartridges or clean 
them. Is there such a means in Debian to accomplish this? I'm pretty 
illiterate when it comes to printing in Debian; I've managed to install 
cupsys and foomatic-filters-ppds and configure the printer via Moz at 
"localhost:631", but there's not anything I see there for cleaning the 
cartridge.

HP Deskjet 1000C

Thanks for the tip, but pup only works with like three printers, the HP 
Deskjet 1000C not being one of them. Thanks anyway.
