There isn't so much a utility as a physical head cleaner for each head. The support manual available here: http://h20628.www2.hp.com/km-ext/kmcsdirect/emr_na-bpp03796-1.pdf has illustrations, animations, and full instructions on how to replace and use the cleaners. Rather than reprint all the instructions here I recommend that you grab a copy of the manual.
