You should be able to do that yourself.
I know for fact that if a HP4M jams its only cause paper dust
is inside the printer (i have one myself and half looked after a few).
Get a normal vacuum cleaner with one of those "thin" extensions
and give it a good clean inside (eg pull trays out etc).
Then go and buy some methylated spirits and some paper towels and
wipe anything and everything inside.
Wipe the fuser too (its that red roller which gets hot) but make
sure you dont scratch the surface. If its too dirty, replace
it (you can buy it from HP), most of the problems START here.
Wait till its all dry and print.
