Hello,
Where can I grease or oil my printer, that makes much noise when re-configuring ?
Thank you very much in advance.

Depending on the noise, it might be a cartridge issue and not the internals of the printer. One thing to test is to remove all cartridges and close the door and see if the noise continues. Insert the cartridges one at a time when prompted as this will allow you to find the bad cartridge if that is what is causing the noise.

Thank you, Repairtrooper, for your answer.

Unfortunately, the noise does not occur during a print but during calibration, that is, when I don't ask it to do anything. It squeals loud and long. I think I need to add grease somewhere, but where ?
