hi,
my HP 6L is making terrible squeeking noise when I plug in the power or
start printing. it also prints one page ok and then just grey all over the
paper.
is it some simple stupid thing broken inside or it's better to throw it??

Do you get the squeak if you open the door and close it again, the motor
should
run for a couple of seconds - does the squeak happen then?
If not and it only happens when you are trying to print then it is
probably the
Laser Scanner. Scanners are easy to replace but getting one at a
reasonable
price will be challenging.

If it happens when you close the door then it is probably the toner
cartridge,
do you have an old cartridge you can try?
You can check the cartridge by taking it out of the printer, flipping open
the
shutter and turning the gear at the end away from you with your left
thumb, if
it squeaks then you have it, also doing this should clean the drum of all
toner
except maybe at the extreme ends of the drum, if it doesn't then the
cartridge
is causing the gray background.

It is likely the two symptoms are related and my guess is the toner
cartridge.

tx Tony but I tried with the old toner and it's the same
i get the squeek when i close the door, maybe it's motor?
