It turns out there is no support from HP on this.  My fix was to by a Lexmark pro for less money and it comes with a 5 year warranty and great customer service. The ink cost less as well. I will never buy HP again.

@help1933, what printer do you have?

The HP Desktop 4480 printer just started making a loud clicking noise when you print...no paper jams have occurred, it is printing beautifully.  Can you share what could be wrong?  Thank you.

Do  I need to call a service tech? I am having the same problem!!!

Turns out it's the carriage rollers. Use your maintenance kit that came with your device and lubricate the rollers. This should stop the noise.
