Got a bit of a problem with the printer. It appears the sun has melted the rollers in the back. I got the spare part from HP ($7.50 add shipping it ended up being around $18). Now to figure out how to pull this printer apart, so that will eventually go back together (without extra parts). 
Anyone know where I can find some technical info on how to take this thing apart, or know how?

Actually its dad's printer. Apparently its on a stand right next to the window. Go figure, I fix pc's so he thinks I can fix the printer. Never taken one of those apart, and mananged to get it back together (correctly) yet.
Its a roller bar that needs to be replaced. I can see it just fine, but can't figure out how to get it out of there, without taking nearly the whole thing apart.

Pulled it almost all the way apart, still cant get to the damn roller...where you can see it, you can almost pull it out, but there are things blocking it. Blarg! Now my hands are covered in dried ink.

A cheap laserjet? Parts for the fix were under $20. Just can't figure out how to get it apart.

Sometimes you need to get destructively creative while fixing some things..? Just don't break something that you still need!
