The ticket said the printer sounded like a dying moose. They could not have been more correct, When I turned it on, I heard "Hey Rocky watch me pull a rabbit out of my..POW, POW ..Oh it hurts, why did you shoot me you furry little asshole" Any ideas?

ROFL! How many dying moose have you encountered?
I've only come across one very live, very large moose in the UP (upper peninsula of Michigan). I was traveling east on highway 2 through the Seney National Park (aka Seney Swamp). This section of 2 was as straight as an arrow and flat, and you can see for 5 miles when the oncoming traffic is using headlights.
It was right at dawn, and a typical fall morning with fog and heavy frost. I'm cruizin along in my 1972 olive green Pinto wagon at top speed of 55 mph. Ok, maybe it could have gone faster, but then it starts shaking itself to pieces. Off in the distance I see something in the road, maybe a deer.
I'm getting closer now and it's bigger than a deer, how about and elk? It's the final 1/2 mile now, and it's way bigger than any elk. This is a bull moose with an 8 ft wide rack, steam blowing from his nostrils. I ease the old Pinto to a stop 100 yards from him. He's got to be 8+ feet tall, and is standing right in the middle of the road. I've heard stories about car/moose accidents. It's nothing I'd like to experience myself. Who wants a 2000 lb moose sitting in his lap?
As I'm trying to figure out what to do next Mr. Moose starts trotting over to investigate the squat looking green thing in the road (me). I manage to find reverse and stamp on the gas but in my fumbling I jammed on the horn, which spooked the big guy. He stopped, looked confused, then trotted off into the swamp off the south side of hwy2
I sat there for a while. When I resumed breathing, I continued on my trip. Doesn't happen every day. =^..^=
If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

I have bounced a few deer off the hood of my old El Camino, but no Bullwinkle's around here.

I've heard it called a Pyrrhic feat. The moose is usually killed. The car and driver usually killed too. A typical lose/lose situation.
I've had a few encounters with deer. They seem attracted to my Scion xB, 3 in 4 years. Some sort of Hari-Kari suicide by diving in front of the Scion.
What kind of HP printer?

I had to laugh here, the typical tech conversation. Goes from everyone being killed, to suicide, to...... What sort of printer.Originally Posted by blackcat4866

It was a Lanier LP126. It sounded awful. I found the cleaning auger on the transfer belt trying to pop out, putting the belt in a bind. Popped it back i and it works fine.

No moose...mooses...meese (Wait. WTH is the plural of moose?!?!?! Brain lock...) in the Arizona desert. A few deer up north in Flagstaff and other areas, but we usually just have little critters.
Oh, and coyotes.....
Moose can do alot of damage to a car. But I've had 2 moose chase me at my house and had one that ran thru my dog team. Had one dog with a broke leg and a mad moose standing 10 foot away. Was only going to be a short run so didn't take a gun with me. The thinks that make life interesting.
