Product: HP Officejet 8630
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 (32-bit)

Hi. I'm hoping someone has suggestions for the HP Officejet Pro 8630 that is making a clanking noise when printing. It sounds like it's coming from the ink housing, but I'm not positive. I've looked for any paper jams or objects and it's clear. I've tried removing and reinstalling the ink cartridges.  I've tried turning it off and restarting. No luck. Any thoughts? It's a sturdy/great printer with cost effective ink cartridges so would love to fix this issue and not have to replace it. I've seen a lot of posts about a grinding noise. That's not what this is doing. While it's printing it will go clank stop clank stop clank stop the entire time it's printing.
