I just ran a search for you.
See this article at http://hardware.mcse.ms/message36090-3.html
Mayby you can remove the HP d145 battery for an hour.
That battery is visible (with a flashlight) if you open the cover
(like you do to replace the HP 14 ink cartridges).
Look way left against the sidewall.
A battery the size of a quarter is held in with a clip
on a black plastic shell on a small brown circuit board.
It's hard to get your head in there but I just tried and was
able to remove the battery (with some difficulty) using just
a large paper clip. I used the paper clip to pull back on the
surprisingly long spring and then used my fingernail to pry
the battery out at the 11 o'clock and 1 o'clock detents provided
in the black plastic battery holder for this purpose.
I was glad I previously pulled the plug as the batter fell
down and I had to remove everything I could from the printer
and then shake the d145 printer upside down to get the
battery back.
Use needlenose pliars or equivalent so you don't lose
that battery like I did. One good thing came of shaking
the printer in that a few shreds of crumpled paper fell out.
I have no idea where *they* were hiding!

I forgot to mention the battery was installed with the
MINUS side down (toward the circuit board) with the
PLUS side facing your head as you peek inside.
For my HP OfficeJet d145 printer, it's the stock HP
PANASONIC CR2032 3V battery (made in Indonesia).
Now I've got to get wrapping my kids presents too!
I hope you get your HP printer to behave before dawn.
Good luck and Merry Christmas.
Donna
