I need to know how to disassemble an HP OfficeJet 7310 printer.  Some
ants are starting to build a nest in mine, which has jammed up the
carriage gears, so I have to open it up to clean it out.  I'm in
Brazil and over 1000 km from the nearest HP service center, and I need
the printer pretty urgently.

Two things that should help...
1) The main problem is taking the whole upper half off its hinges.  I
will consider the question answered with instructions that help me do
that.
2) I'm 90% sure it's the same for all OfficeJet 7000 series printers.

Hello  jbotz-ga,

Have you checked out the HP PartSurfer site? It looks like you might
be able to get the right diagram for your printer on the CD-ROM or
online.
