At work we have an HP 3600 laserjet that sends an error message saying "fuser error" and then goes on to say the fuser is too hot. We took the fuser out and turned the printer off for 30 minutes so it could cool down. Afterwards though, we still receive the same error message. I contacted HP support, but they want to charge us for help with the problem. Is there anybody who knows how to fix this??
Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

To explain what the fuser is, one must explain what the fuser does.
A laser printer works by assembling the page in its memory, then transfers that "image" by scanning a drum. The drum then picks up a charge which will attract the toner. By varying the laser you can induce specific dots, creating an image on the drum. The drum is rotated through the toner, the charge then attracts the oppositely charged toner particles (the uncharged sections don't have anything) The drum, now dark with toner, is touched to the paper, which has an opposite charge, thus transfer all the toner over to the paper. Then the paper is sent THROUGH the fuser, which basically MELTS the toner onto the paper permanently.
If the fuser is too hot, that means the temp control unit for the printer fuser has FAILED, and that is NOT something you can fix by yourself. The labor will likely cost more than the printer unless it's under warranty.
You took out the toner cartridge, which is NOT the fuser. Toner cartridge is just the toner and the drum together in one unit. The fuser is where it warns "high temp! do not touch!"
Just buy another printer or use the backup printer. Again, this is NOT something you can fix by yourself.

I truly believe that you did not take the fuser out. It is not a simple process and is not readily accessible.
You most likely took out the toner cartridge, which works with the fuser.
The fuser is what "fuses" the toner to the paper so the documents print as expected. There are fuser kits that can be purchased, and they usually come with some decent instructions.

The Fuser is a critcal part of the printer, it is a 'replace' job rather than 'repair'.
It is the 'print head' if you like on Laser printers.
