Hi, Rik- I'm not familiar with your HP 4 but I can tell you what a Fuser is. The Fuser is the "HOT" roller at the end of the paper path. It "fuses" the image to the paper.

The fuser is placed at the back of your printer. If you open the back of the pinter you see 2 screws verticaly mounted about 2 inches of the 'floor' (just above the paper-tray (on the back)). These are the screws of the fuser. After removing (just possible with long screwdriver) them you should be able to remove the fuser by pulling it carefully.
Check for toner deposits on upper fuser roller. It's tricky to clean without causing damage to the teflon coating and I usually have to replace it.
Be carefull! - these fuser units are HOT.
