Wow! You are missing stuff:

ls /usr/bin/hp*
/usr/bin/hp-align     /usr/bin/hp-levels      /usr/bin/hp-testpage
/usr/bin/hp-check     /usr/bin/hp-makecopies  /usr/bin/hp-timedate
/usr/bin/hp-clean     /usr/bin/hp-makeuri     /usr/bin/hp-toolbox
/usr/bin/hp-colorcal  /usr/bin/hp-print       /usr/bin/hp-unload
/usr/bin/hp-fab       /usr/bin/hp-probe       /usr/bin/hpftodit
/usr/bin/hp-firmware  /usr/bin/hp-sendfax     /usr/bin/hpijs
/usr/bin/hp-info      /usr/bin/hp-setup

There's the good stuff you want.. indeed! <winks and eyebrow
waggles> ...using good ole smart I found all of these in hplip 1.7.2-3 
install or re-install it to have all of these really nifty bins!! I know
this will make an English Lady's day! Ric
