Question Laser Printer is making a lot of noise - HP M276nw

[Patrick_60]

Hey guys,

I don't know much about printers, but this one is making A LOT of noise. Before buying the wrong parts, could you point me in the right direction? What are the regular maintenance points on these things? I've had it for years without doing anything but replacing toner cartridges every now and then.

It may just be a toner, as I stored it for about a year.

Thanks.

Sounds like a belt or rollers, you said the printer was stored for a year or the toner you used was? You'd have to open it up a bit and see exactly where the noise is coming from.

Yeah, I purchased another one (daily office use), but will be opening this one up out of curiosity. Local repair shop estimates unclear and would have exceeded the price of replacement.
