Product: hp envy 5540
Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP
HP ENVY 5540 all-in-one printer making horrendous loud, grinding noises at start up and right before printing. Loud as in the neighbors can hear it. It was fine when we first got it, until almost a year after purchase, far too late to return to store. Tried doing everything the online suggestions post, which by the way seems there's far too many posts about various hp printers having same loud noise issues.
Otherwise it prints everything ok, just would like to fix the noise. Anyone found a fix? I've already tried changing ink cartridges, cleaning all rollers, changing out paper, plugging into main outlet, restarting, etc.
