Well, now I have two, yes two, HP LaserJet 4250 printers making a horrible racket around the fuser. Obviously the gears are grinding or slipping and it sounds like a jackhammer the first few seconds when you turn them on and the gears cycle. Is it a known problem with the fusers, or could it be something else?
I saw this thread697-1436185 which indicates "the most likely problem is the rear gear and swing plate." Another possibility is a gear in the swing assembly?
When I say loud, it is very loud, the gears are obviously slipping. I looked at the dark rear gear, one edge of the gears looks a little worn, the side toward the center of the printer, dark shavings dust below. The other printer is clean inside, little apparent wear.
