UNSOLVED
Object stuck in guts of printer
I have a rather odd situation. A pencap fell into the paper loading tray of my Dell All-in-one 942 printer and now it has disappeared. I tried to rescue it but it only fell from view. When I turn on the printer I get a bone-jarring sound as if something is rubbing against something that it shouldn't be rubbing against. It looks as if I'm going to have to disassemble the printer; what would be the best and shortest way to go about it?
cydpowers,
This may sound crazy, but this has worked for many.
Enjoy,
Rick

I recommend you unplug the printer, remove the paper tray, open the ink compartment, and the back door and grab the printer and turn it upside down and shake it and see if the pen comes out. You should be able to see the pin from the bottom of the unit and rear door.

the same thing has happened to me Justin, Can anyone out there help? surely, this has happened before! I dropped a pen in paper loading tray of Dell All-in-one 926 printer and it disappeared. Paper won't feed of course, but starts out pulling to the right. Any disassembly advice?
