How do you remove a paper jammed in a HP Laserjet 500n printer?

I recently got a paper stucked onto the rear door of our printer(HP laser jet 5000N). I couldn't pull out the paper because only a minimal portion of it is peeking out.is there anyway I could yank it out without opening up the entire printer? please help!How do you remove a paper jammed in a HP Laserjet 500n printer?
Depends on what you mean by back. Typically, on the 5000 series printers, paper will get lodged in the fuser - the item that fuses the toner to the paper, and is really hot (be careful!)





The nice thing with these printers is they come apart in units. And they are pretty durable so that you don't have to worry about breaking somthing. To remove the fuser, unsnap the rear panel, and you should see either 2 blue latches with arrows on them or two tall screws holding the fuser in. Remove the fuser and carefully pull the paper out. What you may notice on the fuser (causing the jamming) is a separator finger or wheel that is crooked or bent out of shape or a build up of gunk on one of the big fuser rollers. When cleaning a fuser roller, make sure that it cools down, and DO NOT SCRAPE IT with somthing hard or sharp, it will damage it. Your fingernail should work.





Otherwise, you can see the schematics of how to take your printer apart using
