My HP LaserjetM281FDW makes a loud screeching noise at the end of the printing cycle.

Can you clarify a little clearer when you hear the noise please. Has the paper been ejected already when it happens?

Thanks.

 

The paper has almost stopped emerging when the noise starts and continues for 4 or 5 seconds after.  Here's a link to a video file of it happening:

I spoke with HP Telephone Support yesterday.  Very nice people but the answer I got was basically to keep using the printer until it fails (probably quite soon) then chuck it!!!!!! 

 

The last guy kindly offered to put me through to HP sales, but my feeling is that if one of their "domestic" machines fails after 42 months of occasional use I shall not be beating a path to their door.
