Laser Printer Whining / Whirring Noise when printing

[rodgenic]

Hi, my HP laser printer is making a whirring, whining noise when printing.  Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be causing this and how to fix it?  It still prints okay.

@rodgenic, Welcome to the HP Support Community! I’m here to help.

I understand the printer makes a whirring noise while printing. Let us try these steps to resolve this issue:

Reset the printer

1. With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
2. Wait at least 60 seconds.
3. Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer.
4. Turn ON the printer, if it does not automatically turn on.
5. Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you proceed.

Note: HP recommends connecting the printer directly to a wall outlet rather than a surge protector or a power strip.
