Product: HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M281fdw
Operating System: macOS 12.0 Monterey
My printer works perfectly but at the end of the print cycle there's a harsh squeaking going on, and it's getting worse with time.
Here's a sound file of the noise: M281fdw noise

Can anyone make a suggestion as to the cause and fix please? Thanks
