Went through all that no luck. Resetting the gear toggle fixed it, though. permalink fedilink source parent [–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 point 2 years ago (6 children) I did it, but eventually it didn't. So I gave in and replaced the toner. I got nearly 3k prints from the starter cartridge, so not bad. My replacement should get like 25k. Given that I had the original for ~8 years, I don't think I'll ever need a B&W printer ever again. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] Pretzilla@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (3 children) Same here. You need to reset the gear under the toner end cover. Pop the end cover via two or three screws, then rotate the white gear back to 12 o'clock permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 point 2 years ago (2 children) Ah.

Thanks though. :( permalink fedilink source parent [–] kalpol@lemm.ee 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Ah ok mine is newer. I just run the cartridges dry after turning that option off. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 point 2 years ago Probably. I had to enter a special code, which overrode the block on printing, and that worked for a few hundred prints. But then I couldn't override it anymore. permalink fedilink source parent
