Loud snap sound during paper feeding on my CM1415fnw indicate a problem or is this normal?

My HP CM1415fnw puts out beautiful pages with no alignment errors, the network capability is great, etc, etc. However, when it prints, each page it feeds makes a very loud snap-like sound. This makes me wonder if something is wrong with the unit as it's very noisy!
Does anyone else experience this issue?

Hmmm, A loud snapping noise is a little concerning. I would suggest listening and monitoring the printer for a while. If the sounds gets worse or the prints begin to be affected servicing will likely be the best option.
Best of Luck!

Macbook Pro Super Drive Loud Whirring Sound during Burn and Verify

Hi there!
I am using Toast 7 and when I burn DVD's I have noticed that the Super Drive gets a very loud whirring sound that seems to get louder and softer during the first 2 minutes of burning and then during the first 2 minutes of verifying; then it's quiet as a mouse. It's very unnerving; the discs seem fine. Anyone know if this is normal before I head to the Apple Store?

They are kind of noisy drives. Lots more head movement early since they burn center out and less so as they get to the edges since each pass covers a lot more ground. I use it is infrequently as I can becuase it is so slow. A $100 external LaCie drive will pay for itself by burning at 16X instead of about 4.

I have a MX 860 Printer and it makes a squeaking sound during warm-up but not during printing.

This printer is making loud squeaking sounds during warm-up, it prints ok but I don't know where it is coming from or how to go about fixing it.Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Den,
Please open the cover to the printer and look for any foriegn objects. Also, please look in the paper feed opening for anything that may be out of place.

F2480 - paper feed problem - loud noise

My F2480 has recently developed a problem with its paper feed. Once I press the Print command for a document etc, there is a loud ratchet sounding noise for about 3 seconds and that's it - it doesn't then feed the paper in. It sounds like machine gun fire.
This happened after a paper jam when the printer took in a whole wadge of paper in one go for no apparent reason. I cleared the paper jam as you're supposed to and now I am left with this problem.
The printer is around 18 months old.
How can I correct this?

Hi @Trav46,
I understand that you can print one or two pages, then a blank page feeds through part way and causing a jam. The printer makes a noise when printing with the refilled toner also. I can help you.
Did you have this issue before replacing the toner?
Remove the toner.
When you turn the printer on, does the printer make a noise?
When you reseat the toner and turn the printer back on, does the printer make a noise?
Inspect the toner cartridge for damage:
1. Remove the toner cartridge from the product and verify that the sealing tape has been removed.
2. Check the memory chip for damage.
3. Examine the surface of the imaging drum on the bottom of the toner cartridge.
CAUTION: Do not touch the roller (imaging drum) on the bottom of the cartridge.
Fingerprints on the imaging drum can cause print-quality problems.
4. If you see any scratches, fingerprints, or toner, any other damage on the imaging drum, replace the toner.
5. If the imaging drum does not appear to be damaged, reseat the toner again.
Replace the toner with Genuine HP Toner to rule that out.
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

Has anyone had this problem?

in the future, buy this, this is what the Pros use:

Paper feed in the F2480

My F2480 has recently developed a problem with its paper feed. Once I press the Print command for a document etc, there is a loud ratchet sounding noise for about 3 seconds before the paper moves. It sounds like machine gun fire. Once the paper starts to feed the printing is fine.
The printer is around 10 months old.

Thanks for your posting about which I have been notified as I asked to be emailed when responses are added. Unfortunately there has been no reply to my original message.
My current plan is to change the printer when my current inks run out. As you know HP change the ink cartridge models as often as the printers so I am not prepared to waste my surplus ink!
I can get a wireless printer in the UK (not sure where you live) for under 40 GBP.

HP Envy 4500 - issues with paper feeding on intial setup

I just bought this HP Envy 4500 this afternoon and I need to use it asap. Upon initial set up (before any wireless connections), I am stuck at the paper feed needed in order to print the test page. I loaded plain white paper but it still tells me to load the paper. It sounds like it's preparing to print but then the paper does not feed, it never pulls the paper in. I have used 3 varying stacks of paper to try to get it to pull and nothing.
Please help. TIA

Hi @Loopster2,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see you are setting up your HP Envy 4500, but it is not recognizing the paper, so it keeps asking you to load the paper.
Please make sure the Paper Tray is pushed all the way back, alot of the times if you are getting this error it is because the paper tray isn't installed properly.

LASERJET P2015-PROBLEMS WITH PAPER FEED

We have a HP LaserJet P2015 in the office. When the paper reaches the halfway point, the printer makes a horrible sound and will not feed the paper. Anybody have any suggestion?

So, I cranked up my old PowerBook G4 (OS 10.4.11) which has the older driver for the P2015dn and the problem remains.
I have made some progress: If I want to print with paper feed from Tray 1, I pull Tray 2 out a few inches, load the paper in Tray 1, start the print job, and the yellow Attention LED flashes indicating an error. Note that the Paper Out light does NOT come on. So I press the Go button, the Attention LED goes out, and the print job completes using the forms in Tray 1 as desired.
So I'm thinking now, What Error condition? and why does clearing it make it print?
Certainly seems like a hardware problem to me as this is NOT the way the printer is supposed to work as documenetd in the User Guide.

Laserjet 1018 paper feed problem - started suddenly and now wrinkles paper but does not feed it in

This HP Laserjet 1018 is 4 years old, has worked flawlessly. But a day or two ago it fed a sheet of paper, there was a ripping sound, and the paper emerged, printed, but with a 1/4" wide, 5" long missing bit near the bottom, running the long way of the paper. I found and removed the crinkled up torn strip of paper, and have restarted this printer numerous times. Since that incident, it refuses to feed paper correctly, but bunches it up and wrinkles it a bit from the left to right and does not feed it in. Thus, won't work. I can't see any broken parts or anything stuck inside -- and taking this printer apart is v. complicated -- no easy panel to remove to see the feed mechanism. I'm doubtful I can take it apart enough, and still get it back together. I've cleaned the feed roller (small half-round gray rubber thing) and it does not seem to be the problem.
Questions:
a) anyone experienced, and solved this problem?
b) is it worth trying to send this for repair (I got it on special for $69, and the replacement equivalent now appears to be the HP P1102w, which is selling via Amazon for $94.99
Thanks

Officejet K550 Pro: Paper Feed Problems

About a year or two ago, we purchased a K550 unit for our office, and 3 subsequent units for employees' personal use. At first, everything went great - it was the best inkjet printer I or my staff had ever owned! After a month of great service, my staff and I recommended this product to customers demanding a printer with low cost of ownership and fast, high-quality printing. However, after about 3 months of service, all of our units began developing paper feed problems in about the order they were purchased, depending on their usage (the older units first, unless they were used more than other units).
It started with an occasional failure to pickup a new sheet during a print job, slowly progressed to having to hand-feed the printer to get it started on a job and supervising the printer throughout the job to clear the occasional feeding problems during the job, and erupted into a continuous hand-feeding of every sheet of every job through all of these printers, all the time. We immediately replaced, at our cost, all of the 15 customer units, 3 employee units and 1 internal unit that were purchased by us or on our recommendation with other HP devices, even after several customers willingly contacted HP and were sent warranty replacement new and refurbished units that also failed. The only three K550 printers that remain in service with us or our customers (one in our office and two others with customers who requested to keep the units we replaced) fail to pick up any paper out of the main tray an astonishing 93%, 98% and 100% of the time, respectively. This is not an exaggeration, these are documented numbers rounded down when applicable).
I've perused many online sites, forums and websites on this topic - both professional and non - and found this to be a common problem with what seems to be a very great number of these units. Some folks also mention a problem with the K/Y (black/yellow) printhead, but neither I nor any of our customers have experienced this problem. In solving this feeding problem, we've tried different brands, weights and chemical makeups of paper (HP paper works well, but Staples brand paper of standard weight and 97 bright works best), tried different loading strategies for each paper type (such as fanning the paper before loading and before printing, light, moderate and heavy loads in the standard tray), tried installing a duplexing device (HP OEM of course), tried installing the larger paper tray (also HP OEM) and flashing different firmware supplied by HP - all to no avail. None of the units have any aftermarket parts, kits, ink cartridges or printheads - everything installed and used in these printers is OEM, except for occasional special papers or label sheets. So where does this leave us? More importantly - where does this leave my customers who I prematurely recommended this product to?
We're looking for a solution from HP. We've tried customer service and have opened several issues without resolution. I'm tired of my employees and myself dealing with this issue only to be told how to load paper and to flash the same firmware on the same device for the third, fourth and fifth times. We have 16 defective units in storage and 3 units in partial service for a total of 19 units. Accounting for these 19 units: we lightly use 1; we sold and supported 15 of these within our customer base and 3 to our employees, all of which we replaced with other HP products (again, at our cost), and 2 customers decided to keep 1 defective unit each. As a result, both myself and my company are out big money because of this issue. We replaced all of our supported K550's with other HP devices only after unsuccesfully attempting resolution with HP.
If there are replacement parts that address and resolve this conflict available, where can I obtain them? If there is a simple remedy, what is it? What can we do to mitigate this situation and yield a positive outcome? The K550 is an outstanding printer in terms of speed and print quality, unfortunately its unreliability due to poor feeding performance and need for constant supervision and user intervention doom this model to the component recycler's scrap heap. Do you have a solution? Are you experiencing the same problems? I want to know!

So, I just typed this nice, long post about my SOLUTION to this problem, and apparently the forum didn't like it and deleted it. I'll have it up in the next couple days.

High-pitched beep/sound during sleep and shut down modes

I just wish to check whether is it normal that there's high pitched beep (not very loud but can be heard in a quiet room) which seems to be from the LED or AC Adapter during sleep mode. The beep sounds continuous when the computer has been shut down or in off mode while the main plug of where the ac adapter is connected to is still on. Is this normal? My computer works fine. Battery is charging fine. I just want check whether is this normal. It is has been like that ever since I bought my computer on March 2012.
HP Pavilion dm4-3005tx Entertainment Notebook PC

Hello Huanwei,
It appears that you can hear a "high pitched beep" coming from the notebook while it's in sleep mode or even off, when the power adapter is plugged in and "on". I will try to help you with this.
Normally, this should not happen. Beeping from a computer may happen during start up a few times to indicate components enabling, but any constant beeping or being while the computer is off shouldn't happen.
Does this occur, if the AC adapter is not connected to the notebook when it is in sleep mode or off? Do you only notices this, in a specific location? (office, etc.)
I would suggest, depending on the setup of things. Taking the notebook with no AC to another location in the house. A quiet one, make sure your not near any other electronics (no watches or cell phones either) let the notebook sleep and see if you hear the beeping. If not, then power it off and test again. If no beeping, this is good and the notebook is fine.
Repeat that same test with the power adapter connected ( again no other electronics around you). Listen while it is "sleeping" and off to see if you can hear the beeping again.
If you do disconnect the AC from the notebook , but leave that connected to the wall and take the notebook out of that location, go back to see if you can hear beeps again. If you do it could be the AC adapter. If you don't then it could be an issue with that only when it's connected.
If there was no beeping when the AC was connected in this "testing location", then I would guess it is something else within the house that is beeping (we have seen that before). In which case you'd have nothing to worry about in regard to your notebook.
Let me know where the above leads.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

LJ 1100 Paper Feeder Jammed - Asking for Advice

My LJ1100 just broke, the drive may have stripped a gear, it makes a buzzing sound and won't pull the paper through. If anybody has an idea on how to get into the rear where the paper drive is, I would appreciate it. It is not accessible through the toner compartment in the front. Wish I had an IPB. I don't know where to unfasten the back of the box, or if it can be put back together without special tools. The only HP-certified printer shop in the yellow pages for a hundred miles around this smallish city just told me that they stopped fixing printers the first of the month unless you buy an annual contract for on-site service, and I am already stuck with the cost of a new type 92 toner cartridge that I put in it, 3 days before it stopped printing, so, I am stuck if I can't fix it myself.
If you can tell me how to get into the paper-feeder's mechanism, I will try to make the LJ 1100 useable again, and will not need to recycle it for several more years, I hope. Like a lot of people, I am laid off and out of work now, and don't want to buy another one until I can get a job to pay for it.

No paper feed Office Jet 6500 710a

The initial paper feed fails to load the paper, resulting in no paper error.
I tried all the steps HP suggests.
The problem started with a paper jam. All the paper seems to be removed.
The printer makes a sound of radars clicking.
With a litle help, pushing the paper in for some cm, the print is correct.

Hello @C4me,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that since removing a paper jam in your HP Officejet 6500A e-All-in-One Printer you have not been able to print as your product fails to grab paper in the paper tray and feed it into the unit. I would like to assist you today with this issue. Now you mentioned in your post that you have already ran through all of the troubleshooting steps for this particular issue and that the jammed paper seems to have been completely removed. There is chance that the initial jam that you had may have damaged the paper feed rollers. This would result in no paper feed at all and an 'out of paper' message, or you having to guide the paper into the machine for the rollers to actually grab the paper.
With that being said, can I please have you double check these two support documents to ensure that all steps have been completed:
'Out of Paper' Error Message and the Product Does Not Pick Up or Feed Paper
A 'Paper Jam' Error Displays on the HP Officejet 6500A and 6500A Plus e-All-in-One Printer Series
If all steps have been attempted to no avail, than I'm afraid that you would need a whole unit replacement to correct this issue. Should you want to explore additional options I suggest that you contact our Technical Support queue by phone.

IMac just mad a loud crackle, very loud snap and then out

I think I'm screwed. My iMac just mad a crackle sound followed by a loud snap and then it went black out our. My spike bar is still running and so are the other computers, etc. that are plugged into it.
I have an external Hard drive attached and it shut down too.
Anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks, Tom

Hey Big,
I know what you said about investing in a 9 year old g3 but this is more of a hobby for me right now. I plan on maybe giving it to my son so he can browse the internet with it.
I've got my two kids on a 400 and a 600 iMac respectively. They're 8 and 9 and spend a lot of time on the Internet.
That being said i hooked up my ethernet cord to it and for the life of me i can not figure out how to get online in os9.
And you also said something about updating the firmware, how do i check the firm ware and if i do need to update it?
Look under the Apple > system profiler > production information. It should reat 4.1.9 f1 if it reads something like 3.0 something it needs to be up dated.
Do i need a internet conection to update the firmware?
It would help it's not necessary but can be a pain without it. I have a burned CD with the updater on it since I work with so many iMacs.
Look here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106877
And do i need to start new questions for these?
It would allow more people to see your post. Often things posted at the bottom of a "solved" post will get ignored.
I was also looking at HD on ebay
Hard Drive??
and some had osx already installed. Is that a good idea and if yes how do i know if my machine will run the version i get?
You wouldn't. These iMacs will run on 10.4.11 with enough RAM installed. At least 512.
I'd look for a Panther installer or a Tiger but they will have to be on CD since that's what your iMac came with.
