Product: HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M283fdw
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

My Laser Jet Pro MFP M283fdw is making loud squeaking noises when printing. The print quality is ok. How can I fix this?

I didn't see a community board for this specific problem, so I just chose this Printer Paper Jams & Feed Issues.  However, the squeaking is the only problem that is occurring.     Should the paper type be on a specific setting?  I am using a 20lb (75g) weight paper and setting.   I have set it to the "plain paper" choice also, but it doesn't make a difference.  It still squeaks.

I would be grateful for any suggestions to  solve this problem.

Thank you.

It could be the toner cartridges. Remove all 4 toners. Install them back one by one, after each toner is installed close the door and wait for printer to rotate initialize. Repeat for all 4 toner or when the squeaking starts. When the squeaking starts the last installed toner is causing it.
