Dummkopf here tried to re-insert 3 Avery label sheets into an HP laser printer (since I had put them in the paper drawer upside down the first time). There was a terrible noise and then half of the labels came out printed (in other words half the sheets lengthwise came out).
I look everywhere I could for the jammed labels, but couldn't find them. I assume that they are in the inner workings behind a panel.
How can I get to these things to extract them?
Well i hope you don't need to get a technician out to remove those labels for you. If you do then you better have the coffee and biscuits ready to keep him appeased!!
The most likely place for them to have come off the page is at the first place the paper bends much more than about 45 degrees. If not there, then any other bend of similar angle. After this you will need to be looking in the fuser unit (the unit that gets hot) and the heat softens the glue on the label and they peel off.
Download a service manual form here to help you get it apart without braking anything!

For future reference, please ensure that any labels you print are designed specifically for laser printers and the margin from the top of the page to the first label is as big as possible - preferably about 10mm or more.
