[SOLVED] Need printer realignment stuff for Linux

So last night I went to print some stuff (after setting up my printing in Arch - damn you Arch, damn you!) and didn't notice a USB lead in the print tray until it was wrapping itself around the rollers (aaarrgh!) (I blame my wife- she used it last).

I have a HP OfficeJet 7300 and now - while the colour cartridge prints fine, the black one is leaving broken lines everywhere.

I spoke to a printer repair shop today who said that I should try and reset the realignment using my HP software - but I really don't want to have to boot up XP and load it all back on again just for this - is there any way I can do this in Linux?

** EDIT: There's an auto realign option on the printer itself - all fixed **
