Printer making a terrible grinding noise after each page printed

My new HP Officejet 4620 is making a grinding sound after each page printed. I have checked to make sure all packaging material have been removed. Anyone else having this issue?

Could still have something stuck in the printer, I would follow the steps in the link below, and if that doesn't work - call HP as the printer is so new.

Psc 1315 Cartridge stalls after each page

I have a psc 1315 all-in-one printer that works perfectly to one exception. After finishing a page and before releasing it, the cartridge carriage starts making a clunking sound that makes the whole printer stagger. It then stops, lights up the "check paper" and "check print cartridge" lights, and an error box comes up saying "cartridge stalled". When I lower the print gate it releases the page and the "check paper" light comes off. When I lift the gate back up it makes some more clunking sounds and the "check print cartridge" light comes off. Then silence... When I print a self test page this is what I get:

Can anyone with service knowledge help me? Or at least direct me to where I can procure a service manual for this particular model? I will be deeply grateful for any direction or advice.

HP says there is no way to turn the message off. ( BAD HP!!)
However, since I want to only print in black, I may have found a workaround.
Win XP -- Control panel--Printers and Faxes -- Print Preferences -- Advanced -- Print in Greyscale -- select "Black ink only"
No message and the installed trial color cartridge still shows full after several days of printing.
( Sadly this does not seem to work on my wife's HP printer/scanner )

Why does my CP1525nw clean after each page? (using Laserjet1525nw; WIN 7 32bit)

From what I can find the issue is due to custom size paper. I am printing 6.7 X 6.7 envelopes for my daughters wedding and had no problem until I had printed about 50 of the envelopes (one at a time). I am using a template for printing the addresses so I do not print as an envelope format but as a custom size document. I have set the size to a custom size and it was printing beautifully. Then it seemed to freeze and after that it started cleaning after each sheet(envelope). I don't know what happened to change it since I had changed no settings after the initial setup. I have tried restarting the printer. I have exited WORD and restarted (after checking to see if the size was set to the custom size). In addition to the cleanings adding time to my project I am worried that it might be harmful to my printer since it cleans each time. I am only 1/3 complete on my envelopes and hope to resolve this before I continue. . I googled this issue and found that it has happened to others but I have not found a solution. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I just got this printer the other week and it's doing the same thing. I didn't try changing the paper to custom, just left it at 8.5x11. I tried manually feeding one a time through tray 1 but nothing has fixed it. I am too worried it'll damage my printer and it's adding SO much time to my project. I am considering calling support.

How do I get read out loud to continue after each page?

Read out loud stops at end of each page, eventhough I select read to end of document.

Nevermind. It is working after updating.

C310 photosmart cartridges showing empty after 300 pages printed

The c310a has been going through cartidges like crazy with hardly any pages printed. I call tech support which informed me that it was a sensor defect(hardware problem). The tech then continued to tell me that for $168.00 I could buy another model which uses the same cartidges, 564#. I did not pay that much for the c310a. I own three HP laptops and a destop. I will not buy any more HP products if they continue to use "made in china" products with no support. I guess it is time to look at other brands since they cannot fix a printer to get more than 300 pages of mostly text.

Hi,
300 pages. Congratulations. You are the first person who gets the quoted numbers. Many people don't even get close to 250 pages. Please check the following site:

All applications quit unexpectedly after choosing page/print setup

i recently installed HP photosmart c6180 All-in-one printer. not working properly. now all applications that have print options dont function when choosing page setup or print. can anyone pls help me. i have installed and uninstalled a few times

Here's several things you could try.
1. Open the Printer Setup Utility (Applications > Utilities), delete the driver again and then click on Printer Setup Utility and select Reset Printing System. Restart the Mac and then add the printer again.
2. Downloading and installing the 10.4.10 Combo update for the type of Mac you have (ie. PPC or Intel)
3. Opening Disk Utility and running Repair Disk Permissions
4. Using Fixamac's Printer Setup Repair utility to see if it can determine what is wrong with the printing system.

Adobe Form's First Page printing perfectly on 132 column sheet but further pages prints with small font size

Dear All,
We are facing a strange behavior of adobe form.
we made form for SAP CRM which is printing in 132 column(28cm * 33cm) sheet. what we are observing is, first page is printing perfectly on the pre printed Invoice sheet but if invoice has more items to be displayed then second page prints with small font size or you can say second page seems to be zoomed out to smaller page size. In Preview Second page onwards also looks perfect. Now we are in a fix what to do to come out of this issue.
efforts made:-
Adobe Page Size Adjusted.
Select paper Source by Page Size ticked in Adobe form properties
But still result is non satisfactory. Please Help.
Regards,
Ashkar Rizvi

See my answers below:
a) The size of the pages of PDF which you are printing. LETTER
b) Does all pages of the PDF are of same size? YES
c) What is the page size set in the Printer and what is the actual size of the paper which you have put in the tray? LETTER
d) Does this problem also happens on the virtual printer which you might have on your system (Try either Microsoft MPS Document writer or Adobe PDF Printer) No VIRTUAL PRINTERS
Thank you for attempting to help me with this... we have tried everything and haven't been able to resolve the problem.

New iPod Classic 80gb Making weird clicking/grinding noise

I recently (2 days ago) purchased an Apple iPod 80gb and I noticed that when I go from the main menu to videos, or music, or anything else the iPod makes a weird clicking noise.
It comes from the iPod itself and it's loud enough to hear without putting your ear to it.
I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this, or if I should have it serviced?

Some "clicking" noise is normal - it's the hard drive spinning up and being read. However, it shouldn't be very loud (though, of course, loud is subjective). Now, if it is "grinding", that could be a problem. Does it stop after a couple of seconds after you change menus or start a song or video?
If you're concerned, exchange it (now's the time when it's new). Better that, than worry that your iPod may die any day.

Speaker keeps making a small popping noise after a call

Right after a call whether on speaker phone or not the speaker keeps popping. Very small noise, hardly noticeable, but it eventually keeps getting louder and pops in about 10-15 sec intervals.
I don't think I care about the noise, it's hardly audible, but is it taking away the little battery life it has?

Hi
Plenty of threads by the look of it:
http://discussions.apple.com/search.jspa?search=Go&q=10.4.10+popping
As far as I can tell, it happens to people with external speakers. I have no external speakers at all, no popping.

How to print a value at the top of each page in the detail section of a rpt

Thanks for helping, I will try to get right to the point.
I have RTF template. Very simplistic template. I have the Group at the top (there is only 1 per XML file) and several DETAIL lines with like 10 columns.
The first displayed field is "ACCOUNT_NUMBER". The user wished that if the ACCOUNT NUMBER for line 2 was the same as line 1, that it be suppressed, for example:
Acct No other other other other
1234 XX XX XX XX
YY YY YY YY
This was not a problem, I was able to accomplish it with the following code:
<?if:position()=1 or ACCOUNT_NUMBER!=preceding::ACCOUNT_NUMBER[1]?><?ACCOUNT_NUMBER?><?end if?>
But what happens is that IF THE FIRST line on a page has the same ACCOUNT_NUMBER as the last line on the previous page, the ACCOUNT NUMBER is not displayed.
What I would like is for the ACCOUNT NUMBER to be displayed anytime we are at the first record on a page, AND anytime it is different from the previous record's value.
I do not know how many lines per page are possible, because there are other line breaks which exist which put a space between lines when values change too. So I cannot just count how many total lines and divide it by lines per page.
My thought was that there must be a way I could store a variable called LAST_PAGE, and at the end of each record, copy the current page number to that variable. Then in my ACCOUNT_NUMBER code, I could check if current page is NOT equal to last page along with my other conditions.
1. Is this the best way to do this? If so, please help, I am new to BI and am having trouble figuring out where to put variables and stuff like that.
2. If not, how can I do this?
3. If your recommendation is going to be to group my items by Account Number, I may not have time to redo the report that way. I will happily supply the rtf and xml if that will help you help me.
Regards:
Michael Coughlin

Here ya go. Obviously you can duplicate the G_DETAILS blocks to get enough for 2 pages. I have the data pre-sorted before the output is generated because I had trouble getting the RTF to work if I didn't, just so you know.

How do I print a PDF that contains mixed paper sizes (letter and legal) so that my printer choosing the correct paper tray for each page?

I have followed the instructions here:
Print mixed page sizes | Acrobat, Reader
But it did not work! I'm using a Mac OSX 10.9.3, Reader 10.1.10

I found out that, apparently, this just plan doesn't work on the Mac version of Adobe Reader. Thanks, Adobe, for a crappy experience.

Photosmart C6280 Grinding Noise while printing

Hello everyone,
Own a HP Photosmart C6280 printer. It jammed once but after unjamming the printer has been making a grinding noise (metal-on-metal) whenever I start to print. On occassion it goes away but comes back quickly.
Is there some alignment problem with some of the shafts, gears, etc in the printer that can be easily fixed, or will it require a trip to the shop?
Appreciate the help!

HI there,
The printer may require servicing however first we can use this article that covers paper jams to inspect the various points that could cause the sounde. Check the gears and rollers to ensure there are no debris and that they are clean. Let us know if it helps.
Best of Luck!

Fan is making grinding noises, had it checked out, but it's still as noisy as ever?

So my Macbook Pro (from late 2011) has been making very loud grinding noises coming from the left fan for about a month now. Sometimes it's more subtle, but usually it's very loud even when applications aren't even open. As soon as I start up my laptop, without fail, the grinding begins. It's at its worst when I'm watching Netflix, but it's always loud regardless to the point where it's hard to hear the audio from videos.
I finally took my laptop to the Genius Bar today and had a guy look at it. He said that the left fan was blocked and he cleaned it out for me. He handed me back my laptop and said the test he ran said it was good. So I thought, great! I didn't have to pay for a new fan!
Well I just got home, turned on my laptop, and the grinding is as noisy as ever. It's like nothing had been done at all. I really wish I had tested turning on my laptop in the store before I left, but I was so happy that it was just dust buildup that I left thinking everything would be fine
Do you guys think this is a sign that the fan has to be replaced? I'll probably end up going back to the store this week, but I'm hoping maybe there's something I can do (if at all possible--i'm not that good with hardware though) because replacing the fan will probably be expensive for me.

Hello rosetoots, Welcome to the forums
I saw your post about your Deskjet 3520 making noises when it feeds paper. I have a document that I would like you to see and follow the instructions for cleaning the rollers. I am hoping this will help the noise issue!

Please let me know if you need further help!
