I had a paper jam and removed the stuck sheet of paper, but when I replaced the paper path cover, I may have not fitted it back in properly. So when I started the printer again, a jam occurred again. I am trying to clear the jam, and found that the paper path cover is stuck.
Two questions:
1) How do I open the back of the computer to check for jam back there?
2) Is there a trick for removing the stuck paper path cover?
Thanks for your help,
John

Hi @J_A_K,
Welcome to the HP Support Community
I'd like to help!
I understand you are facing a paper jam error.
Try the below suggestions -
Reset the product
- With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
- Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
- Wait at least 60 seconds.
- Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
- Reconnect the power cord to the printer.
- Turn the printer on. HP recommends plugging the printer directly into a wall outlet.
Also, refer to the document for instructions on how to remove the jam - HP OfficeJet Pro 9010, 9020 Printers - Paper Jam Error
