Brother HL-1440 Laser Printer makes a loud noise when it tries to print and won't print. All lights are flashing.

well if it started and got worse over time it could be the drum otherwise it may be the driver that is running the printer also there normaly is a light on the front that will light up red if the drum is shot

Try first unplugging power, and removing toner
check inside for foreign objects or fragments of paper
Open all doors and close them back , and plug back power.

Sounds like a broken drum drive gear. Try another known good drum assembly first. Parts can be googled and found. But, difficult for end user to replace. You have to remove all covers and fuser asm. Then gear housing from the left side to change the drum drive gear.

If your printer have no paper jam inside and paper tray has paper in it, then you need to replace toner cartridge.

Could be a defective drum, but do the reset first, Open the front door and hold the go button until the lights flash and it will be reset. after that just shake the toner and hope for the best...

may some dust in corona ware or drum clean the drum.

check your drum may the corona ware is broken . change the drum.

Try to uninstall and reinstall the printer...then do a test page...it should work...
