Product: HP Officejet Pro 8718
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)
Hello. When scanning or photocopying on my OfficeJet Pro 8718 it makes like a grinding / scratching noise. I have done the following:
1) Taking the cartridges out and re-seated them
2) Updated the firmware
3) Check for any paper jams
4) Reset the printer entirely to factory reset.
Have done the above 4 steps the problem has not gone away. It does not do it when printing, just when copying and scanning.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
Chris Lewis
