Your best bet is to replace the whole fuser assembly. Many manufactures now design their systems with customer performed maintenance in mind. They offer CSR (customer replacable units) for many of their products. The fuser is usually one of the items offered. If your fuser falls into this catagory, see the manufactures representive in your area and order one. Installation is usually a snap out, snap in affair. Oh and yeah....it wont be cheap!

If you are stuck with the older fuser assy and the roll can be replaced by itself. This job should be left to the manufactures tech. The possibility of damaging other parts while trying to remove the fuser heat roll is great (and costly). It would be a crying shame to have the roll almost in and then put a big scratch in the coating. Every copy would show the result of your screw up and no the warrenty does not cover it. I don't know the cost of a fuser roll now, but they were spendy a few years ago.

The hard part is going to be finding the fuser assy and parts. Try the manufactures web site. If you have no luck there, check with a dealer in your area and see if he would be willing to sell you a fuser assy. Either route will be costly.

On the older printers, most fuser assemblies cost more than a new printer unless it is a high end model.

Are there visible streaks or rips in the upper fuser roller?

What part of HP Laser Jet printer is malfunctioning if you receive 50 Service errors?

It means there is a problem with the fuser assembly. Frequently this is because the fuser is not generating enough heat. This can occur when nothing is wrong except using the wrong voltage. If you are using a 220v fuser in a 110v printer, you will not be able to generate enough heat to fuse the toner to the paper, resulting in the toner flaking off the paper or smearing on the printer after the first part of the first page.
