Printer help, pulled all paper through!!

Hi,

I'm scanning a letter for my Dad and went to print the first page out and the printer has pulled all the paper through at once :mad: I reckon theres about 15 sheets (ish) but now they are half in, half out the printer and well and truly stuck :o I did try to gently pull them back but they wont budge. When I went to turn the printer off it pulled them through a bit more and the printer wont turn off.

It's a HP deskjet F4580 Series if that helps... any advice on what to do would be great. I don't really want to wait for OH to get home and see what I've done :o and also don't want to tell him I've ruined the printer!!

    Seems that the paper is cleared from the rear, this is not your exact printer, but the fix should be common with the HP F4580

    Thankyou so much :T

    I've unplugged the printer because it wouldn't switch off and bookmarked the video. I'll let OH fix it when he gets home, no point in me making it any worse than it is. I'll just have to put up with him giving me "Oh no what now" look :rotfl:

    Thanks again.
