I service up to 10 670,s series printer per week and I would suggest that you will have to change the bearings on the carriage as well as lube the carriage rod.

mscotty: Thanks for your interest in my problem. I followed jrhelgeson's suggestion when I got it in July and it seems to be working fine. No sign of bearing failure so far. I like the printer very much except for it's tendency to pick up multiple sheets of paper now and then.

From time to time, usually at the beginning or the end of the print cycle, my HP672C printer emits a grinding noise that sounds like gears slipping. The printer continues to operate, but a noise like that must mean trouble of some kind. Is this a do it yourself repair or do I need professional help? The warranty period has expired.

Grinding noise in printer

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.
