Printer prints but ink smudges

[steveinpilot]

Printer prints, but ink smudges off paper.Had jam but could not locate the label paper.  Is it blocking the heating element?  How can I access it.

Welcome to the HP Community --

Sure, if a label peeled off the label sheet and stayed inside the printer, it is going to cause trouble.
