Hello,

I brought a brand new HP DeskJet 4120e printer yesterday and have been trying it out this morning and I am satisfied with the printing quality. However, whenever the printer is switched on but not being used the printer makes a loud "printing" noise every 4 seconds. I have nothing pending to print, put the printer on quiet mode, checked that the printer isn't jammed, I have tried reseting the printer itself, I have tried reseting the connection and removing the printer from my MacBook yet nothing has stopped the incredibly annoying/continuous loud sound. 

 

I have tried everything to fix this problem to no success. Can anyone help?

 

Thanks in advance
