My printer doesn't make a clicking noise; it does make a sound like the Orange Blossom Special while warming up, though (seriously, you'd think a train was coming through).

If it's an inkjet, it's probably the toothed band that moves the print head from side to side slipping over the notches as the print head self-registers, which it usually does by moving as far as it can to one side. The printer ensures this by moving the band far enough to get the print head from any position to the side, which causes it to make that characteristic clicking noise before starting to print.
