My printer is jammed too far back for me to reach, what can I do?

I have a HP PSC 1510 All-in-one printer. I was testing to see how it would print on my wedding invitation envelopes and used a doubled piece of typing paper to run through to test, and that piece of paper got jammed. It's jammed so far back inside that I cannot reach it. Is it safe to take screws out to try and get a better reach to the paper? How can I fix this? I have to finish printing my invitations soon and have things for my college classes that will need printing in the next few days and cannot afford a new printer and ink supply. This model doesn't have a back access point, and I bought it almost two years ago so warranty voiding isn't a big deal to me.

1. Check if it has an opening flap at the back. Many of the small hps do now, and that is where you are supposed to remove jams from.
2. If you are desperate, it is safe to take out the screws and remove the plastic case as long as the power is off (unplug the whole thing). Obviously, don't tug too hard at anything that doesn't feel like it's ready to come off easily after you've taken the screws out. Also, you should be aware that usually taking the printer apart will remove some little sticker or use another device that will let HP know you have voided the warranty by opening the printer.
