wow- I've never had a loud printer
But for the OP - Many printers offer maintenance cleaning -
you have to go to your Printer Preferences and find the Maintenance Tab - there will be a place for you to do a deep clean or a regular clean - it does eat ink though - this is on Canons which I've had for years and do a TON of printing on.
I do have a new canon - and while it prints beautiful - it is an INK HOG
....my retired canon pixma I can't buy ink for anymore and I have 2 sitting in a closet in perfect condition - but no ink ....I do not like this New Pixma Printer - way way bad on ink and the ink is 90 $ for the tanks. That is now how they make their money - Printers are reasonable but ink is high and goes really fast.
I'm worried about my little business with the labels and cards- I'll probable be ending up breaking even with the cost of ink with this new printer
