I have a HP Photosmart C4780 all in one printer and when I turn it on, as well as before I go to print something, the printer makes a horrible, loud clicking sound. I have cleaned out the inside and checked to see if anything was jammed but nothing was. It will print but I want the sound to stop... any suggestions?

There may be nothing you can do about it. A lot of the HP printers make a lot of noise as they start up or prepare to print. Has your printer always made this noise or did it just start?

Try hard-wiring your laptop to the router with an ethernet cable as a test and then try printing, if you do not loose connection to the internet then the problem is probably that the printing is hogging your wireless bandwidth. If the same thing happens with loosing connection to the internet try connecting to the internet real quick through another computer that is hardwired, you want to find out if the problem is a wireless one or that affects wired computers also. You might need a driver upgrade, you also might need to upgrade the firmware of the router
Has it just started this? Some printer can be a bit noisy. The plastic gears and parts can use a little bit of Silicon Spray, you may want to dab it on with a Q-tip or similar tool.
Your wireless printer might frequently lose its communication with the computer and hence might not print all the documents when you want. Such an issue arises when there is interference in the wireless signals between the printer and the computer. This could be caused by any other wireless device kept in the vicinity of your printer like a cordless phone. Keep all other wireless devices way from the printer set-up to tackle this issue. Also bear in mind that if your system is turned on for hibernation mode then it would disconnect your printer the moment it goes into hibernation. get more help http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Install-and/HP-Photosmart-C4780-Wireless-Printing/m-p/320321#M19172
this is the Correct link to download the Software by choosing the Operating system but if you say if you are not able to make copies, is it from the printer itself..
