Oki Drum Reset

[Nodge]

I have an OKI 7400 colour laser printer and I'm getting a message saying the
black drum needs replacing. As far as I'm concerned it's still printing fine
and I don't want to replace it. I think from memory last time this happened
it will print about 20 pages and then stop with a "Replace black drum"
message. Turning off and on will let me print another 20 pages. I think it
does this for a limited number of times and then refuses to print at all
until the drum is replaced. I believe it's possible to reset the counter to
zero to overcome the warning message using a combination of key presses on
the control panel. There are pdf's advertised on ebay to do this. Just
wondered if anyone knew what the solution is? (I've tried Google but not got
anywhere).

Thanks

Nodge

Thanks Jeff. I'd actually found that thread through Google but as it was
relating to the Okidata printer I didn't read too far down. It does indeed
cover other models further down the posts.
