Bought the Canon i550 today. Plugged the power in. Noticed this ticking -like sound.
The printer prints perfectly, but once it has nothing to do, it will make ticking sounds. WHen you change a setting in windows, it stops the noise, when you press a button on the printer, it stops too.
The noise is also there when the printer is turned off. Pulling out the power cord causes the ticking to accelerate , then die.
I called canon technical support and they said the printer should not make any noise whatsoever. So I traded it in.
But the new printer makes excactly the same noises 
Now I'm wondering, does the i550 always make these sounds when idle? Or am I experiencing a bad batch?
