When I am printing the printer makes a high pitch squealing noise!  I've taken out the ink cartridges' one at a time and it still makes the noise.  It does it anytime the ink cartridge bundle goes back and forth

Hi @CGoodall,

 

I'd like to help!

 

I understand the printer makes a high-pitched noise when printing.

 

Try the below suggestions

 

Reset the product

 

With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.

Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

Wait at least 60 seconds.

Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.

Reconnect the power cord to the printer.

Turn the printer on. HP recommends plugging the printer directly into a wall outlet.

 

Try updating the printer's firmware -HP Printers - Updating or Upgrading Printer Firmware  

 

Also, check for broken parts or jams inside the printer -Paper Jam Error

 

If the issue persists, I'd suggest you contact HP in your region regarding the service options for your printer

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
