Product: HP Laser jet pro 200 color

My HP makes a terrible squeaking noise.  I took the back off and blew air and made sure no paper jams.   Stopped for a few days and now it is back.  Anything to do?  This is a older printer I have had since 2014 but been great.

Laser Jet Pro 200 Color MFP M276nw.  No error message .  Could not find proper drop down.

Most common cause of noise in smaller color laser printers is cartridges. If you recently replaced a cartridge or one is very low then it is possible that the bushings for the drum unit are worn or defective. When do you notice the noise, meaning during what part of the printing cycle and  you hear it when you first turn on?
