LaserjetPro M203 printer makes loud clicking sound when printing

[srbill]

Ever since I changed my toner cartridge from a 30A to a new HP30X, the printer makes a clicking sound when printing, and the page prints very faintly, if at all.  The old cartridge worked fine before it I replaced it.

I tried re-inserting the cartridge but it still makes a clicking sound when it cycles through.

The printer is only about 3 months old
