Clearing inaccessible paper jam on OfficeJet 8500

After printing no more than 20 pages on my new OfficeJet 8500 Wifi printer, the paper jammed. I have tried to clear the jam but have not yet succeeded.
Here are details of my problem:
My printed page almost finished feeding out from the printer, but the very end of it is stuck between the rollers. This means that - after removing the ADF - I cannot reach the paper at the back of the printer to pull it out backwards. Since the advice is NOT to pull it forwards, what do I do?
No error message displayed. This worried me!
Any advice please?
Unfortunately the help page I consulted from HP does not explain how to clear the jam I have. (See "HP Officejet Pro 8500 Premier (A909n) and 8500 Wireless (A909g) All-in-One Printers - 'Paper Jam' Message Displays on the All-in-One" http://h200003.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c01617494&lang=fr&cc=fr&task...

Is it possible to reach inside with long nose pliers or something like that to pull it out from the back? Maybe work it out sideways? Or can you print something that would go through and hopefully dislodge that piece of paper?

Hi Charlene,
To try and resolve the paper jam, please turn off the printer and unplug it, then remove the back panel on the printer, then the gray plastic piece. Hopefully, you will be able to see the paper that is jammed in the printer and be able to remove it.
Once the gray plastic piece and back panel have been put back on, please plug the printer back in and turn it back on. If the error persists, the printer will require servicing. Please call or email us at one of the methods on the Contact Us page to obtain your servicing options.

How do i clear a paper jam on an officejet all-in-one e6500n??

The top of the page is stuck under the rollers at the back of the paper and is torn away from the rest of the paper.

You should remove all paper JAMs from the BACK of the printer...
Remove the duplexer or the door from the back of your printer... and pull the paper out through the back.

How do I clear a paper jam in an ImageClass d420 if the paper does come out with gentle pulling?

I've got a nasty paper jam in an ImageClass d420. I really don't want to damage this thing. I pulled out the toner and can grip the jammed paper (it grabbed a whole stack of sheets, not just one jammed one). When I pull on any of the paper, it is really firmly in place, and I hear some gear or something engaging as I pull. It feels and sounds like something is going to break if I pull any harder.
I'm starting to consider dis-assembling the printer. I feel like there must be some sort of way to release the tension or put the gears into neutral, but I'm not seeing it in the manual or by poking around inside.
HELP! :-)

Print message print cartridge cannot move because of paper jam but the paper jam has been cleared.

My Envy 4502 printer message window says that the print cartridge cannot move and to clear any paper jam obstruction. There was a paper jam and I cleared it but the message "the print cartridge cannot move and to clear any paper jam obstruction" remains there and I cannot remove it or get the printer to print. I tried everythng listed in the troubleshooting section of the help guide in the software. I uninstalled the printer and then reinstalled it which didn't help in the slightest--the message about the print cartridge is still there. I also tried unplugging the printer overnight (to try to clear the memory) and this also did not help--that message is still there. By the way, I can easily move the printer cartridge by hand and I can hear the cartridge moving when the printer attempts to work. I would appreciate any help from anyone to get my printer to work again!

The print carriage will not move even after the paper jam has been cleared

I had a paper jam this morning and cleared it out completely. I keep getting a message on my HP ENVY 4500 that says the print carriage cannot move. Open the ink cartridge access door, clear any paper jam or obstruction, ensure ink cartridge levers are lower and snapped.

How do I clear a false paper jam reading on a CM1312nfiMPF?

HP CM1312nfiMPF all-in-one: I have cleared a paper jam in the output bin and closed the rear cover. The screen on the machine says that I still have a paper jam in the output bin and will not let me continue. I have double checked the input tray and the output bin, and there is no paper jam. I have unplugged the unit, with the switch on, waited 25 seconds, plugged it back in, and the screen still tells me that there is a jam in the output tray. Any suggestions?

This seems to be a commercial product. For the best chance at finding a solution I would suggest posting in the forum for HP Business Support!
You can find the Commercial Laserjet board here:
