@TRYER3, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

 

I understand the printer is noisy. To assist you better, are you able to print and make copies?

 

Let us try these steps to resolve this issue:

 

Check for any jams inside the printer or for any loose objects. Perform the steps mentioned in this document - Paper Jam' Error

Make sure the print carriage is moving freely.

Try making a standalone copy and check the result. If the issue persists, this could be a hardware issue with the printer. Please reach out to the HP Technical Support team in your region regarding the service options for your printer. 

You may create a case on the website to obtain a case number if required. Kindly watch this video to know how.

 

Keep me posted for any other assistance.

Thank you for your reply.

I have done all the updates, etc to the printer as suggested.

Yes, I can print from the Pc and I can also copy documents, etc.

The noise is like cogs whirring together but the strange thing is it doe`s not do it all the time or every time.

So perhaps something has possibly come loose inside.
