Hello,


I recently bought an HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP 3302fdwg. When I turn it on, it squeaks like crazy.
Here's a video of what it sounds like: https://streamable.com/wtan2x
Is this perhaps a known problem that I can solve myself?

 

Thanks

Sounds like one of the police chase car cam videos that amuse me on occasion.

I am not amused, return the printer if new.

 

Otherwise quote:  

Noisy MFP 3302 printers often signal paper jams, bad toner cartridges, worn fuser components (rollers/gears), or debris, causing grinding, squealing, or clunking sounds, which you can troubleshoot by checking for jams, reseating cartridges, cleaning rollers, updating firmware, or identifying if the noise is from the ADF (Automatic Document Feeder) or internal. If basic steps fail, worn internal gears (drum unit/fuser) or a carriage stall might need professional repair or replacement parts.
