Loud clicking noise on Laserjet P1102w

[BHplanner]

My Laserjet P1102w is making a loud clicking noise and will not print.  I have repeatedly removed and replaced the toner cartridge and checked for any foreign object inside printer - no change.  Still very loud clicking.  Printer is almost 2 years old.  Toner cartridge is fairly new, printer is out of warranty.

Unfortunately, none of the suggestions worked and the printer is out of warranty.  I have owned probably close to 10-12 HP printers and all of them (with the exception of our workhorse Laser Jet 2420) seem to quit in less than 1-2 years, each with a completely different issue!  Maybe it's time to switch brands!
