When you first start the printer, the print head is moved over a rubber blade to "wipe" the print head. Sometimes it will also carry out a head-cleaning cycle. The sheet-feeding roller is rotated to ensure it is in the correct position. So, it seems likely that the squeak comes from the paper feed mechanism. The problem is, you will have to remove the printer top cover to make a more detailed diagnosis. This is not simple without the right tools and knowledge. If you feel game to give it a try, you can obtain the Service Manual quite cheaply from the internet - see for example:
http://www.2manuals.com/product_info.php?cPath=2_39&products_id=647Do a search - it may be cheaper elsewhere. I will also produce a short tutorial on doing the job to cover the bits the service manual doesn't explain!. Post a new comment if you want to go further.
Otherwise, it's a trip to the repair shop - or just leave it until something fails!
