My printer is getting increasingly loud and squeaking when printing. It can be heard throughout the house now. I took out all of the printer cartridges and reloaded them.  This seemed to help a little bit.  I have not cleaned off any rollers and am wondering if that's the problem.  What else do you suggest that I do? Also, it always shows low on Toner; however, I have used it for many months without replacing the Toner.  Same thing with the color cartridges.  They show empty and yet continue to print for a long time. Could this be contributing to the problem? Thanks for your thoughts.

Continual squeaking when printing is most often caused by cartridges.
