Re:
The only thing I can really suggest is that you reinstall all the software. If it persists you should get in touch with HP, use your warranty if valid.

Re:
Have you by chance removed the scanner's transport screw. Under the unit you'll see a large plastic screw, make sure it's not in the transport position. It's used to stop the light mechanism from moving during transit.
Switch it to the other position and the problem should stop.

The Grinding Noise has something to do with the scanner not the Printing Part, I think the scanner could have something stuck on the moving tray....!!!!!!
You cannot make a copy if you are thinking of it like a photocopier. It doesn't have a scanner built into it . If this is what you are thinking there are several quite excellent scanners out there fairly cheap. The scanner will come with software that will make it and the printer behave like a photocopier. The scanner we use at home even has a button that we just press to scan and print a copy as well as software that gives more options.
If you want to just print multiple copies of the page then this you can do. You just have to go to print options on a program menu and tell it to print the page how many times you need. You can also change the number on the printer driver but if you don;t set it back after everything after is going to print a few extra copies.
The error code 30.01.45 as listed in the Service Manual call for replacing the
SCP(scanner control board).
Call for service, if it's under warranty, call HP.
In your case, the scanner light is not lit during the scan or copy. If you print something from the pc, it would print just fine. Try to powercycle the printer, then try copying again. If it persist, scanner is defective but you may still use it to print from pc.
Using the scanner is rather simple. First install the included software. If you are running Vista, then you need to download an updated version of the software. Open HP Solution Center then go to scan. it should scan the page (make sure the printer is on first). Another method would be to press the scan button on the bottom of the printer's control panel. To copy a sheet, simply press either the black and white or colour tab in the control pannel of the printer. You can select the type of paper above and the amount of copies to make as well.
