Help! Sticky label stuck on roller - HP Photosmart 3310 Printer

Depending on the typewriter model, most all have release points located on either end of the roller bar. Locate these, push forward or backward, release roller bar and lift the bar out. This would be the preferred solution, as it would make removing the sticky note far easier. These release points will look like small levers and should have directional arrows visible to indicate which directions they should be pushed to release the bar. If you cannot remove the roller bar, I suggest standing over the typewriter and use a pair of tweezers to remove the sticky note. It may take some patience, and may tear, but eventually it should be able to be removed,even if it is bit by bit. Also, with each portion removed, turn the roller bar to make the remaining part of the note more visible. Good luck.

Probably the gears or other parts are jammed with the plastic and sticky substance.

Make sure it is unplugged. Then see how to take some of the unit apart. Many of these kinds of units will be held together by screws in deep indentations. You will need a screwdrive of the type of the screw-head. Remove the screws and then you can split the unit apart and see what the problem is.
More than likely, it will be a matter of removing the sticky plastic jammed into the unit between the gears and or the rollers or other parts.

your going to have to take it all out and peal all the bits of stuck label out manually, if you have some alcohol maybe gin, give it a clean too, the sticky will pass on to the rollers and make a mess of everything, if its an inkjet then you may have to use damp cotton to clean the ink units, good luck.

My problem was the rollers at the top of the printer where the paper feeds out of the unit. I had printed some labels and some sticky material from the labels stuck to the rollers and metal fuser unit. I cleaned off the sticky strips from the rollers and fuser roller and the unit works fine now. You may have to let the printer cycle several times so it turns the rollers so you are sure to remove all the sticky stuff or paper. I also used a can of the compressed gas to spray out all the dust, paper and sticky stuff after I scrapped off with envelope opener.

I wish I had one in front of me, but I don't. Brother used two ways of holding the Platen (big black roller in place. Open the top cover and look at the frame where the platen is held. You will likely see plastic clips holding the axial that runs through the platen (85% of brother machines have clips), or you will see that the axial runs directly through the frame. If you see clips just squeeze the tabs and lift up. Note which side has the gear, so that it is reinstalled the same way. If you don't have clips you will need to loosen the Allen screws holding the knob to the platen roller, and the roller will lift right out. If the label left any of the rollers sticky they must be completely cleaned before reassembly, Goo-Gone is a good product to remove gummy labels.

Best of luck, Ron

peel off the label from roller and clean the roller with a drop of petrol/alcohol/after shave lotion on a tissue paper or cloth

Your description is not very very descriptive, so I dont know if that stuck piece, prevents the ink from hitting you page. But, if you know how to remove your cartridge, I am sure you should be able to have a good view of the paper rollers [depending on your brand of printer] that drive the paper towards your output tray. If something is stuck, by rotating them, which is not a very easy task in some printers, you should be able to bring into view the piece that is stuck

Carriage jams that constantly occur are due to something in the path of the paper or a dirty feed roller. I would inspect it very carefully for any type of ware on the rollers or sticky rollers or anything that could interfere with the path of the paper. Could be at one point someone tried to print labels and one got stuck in there and was never cleaned properly.

Another thing could be something broke off and the feed guide is out of alignment.
