1220c grinding noise

Try Using the HP Print Diagnostic Utility in Windows - HP Customer Care (United States - English)

check your software setting

I found another posting stating that the culprit was the black toner cartridge. Sure enough I changed our black cartridge and the grinding noise has stopped. No wonder the grinding noise was not happening all the time only when the black cartridge got low. Thanks for the help!

try cleaning the ink tray. remove the ink and clean it put it back and try printing. put off your printer before doing to

I think the noise is normal for hp deskjet. When starting up, the printer read the head existence, and do cleaning. is it the first replacement cartridge? Disable ink status monitor.

Please make sure that you are using the correct driver for this printer.

HP releases a monochrome (Black only) driver and a full driver.

This is a problem with the carriage. Unplug the printer from the wall and the computer wait half an hour and then plug it back in and see if you have the same problem please post the results.
