Homebrew PCBs

it sounds like to me the drum wiper blade flipped and is not wiping 
the excess toner off the drum and is binding creating the groaning 
sound . turn the toner cartridge upside down with the part that goes 
in the printer first towards you . push aside the drum shutter so you 
see the drum .the drum should rotate towards you if it is binding 
push the drum gear away from you this should free the blade , then 
the drum should rotate freely toward you . then try it in the 
printer .
