My printer - HP Color LaserJet M255dw - is making a whole lot of beeping while it's printing. Is there anything that can be done to turn the beeping off?
- It's plugged in correctly.
- Setup is done correctly
- No error messages
- No preferences or sound settings on the panel OR in the HP Smart Advanced settings of the printer
it's really starting to get annoying.
