If the continue light is solid, and the drum light is flashing, This is just a notification that the Photoconductor (PC) Drum is almost end of life and will need replacing soon.
Any time an imaging drum is replaced on a 1700, 1710, or 1720 model dell laser printer, you must reset the photoconductor count. The following procedure illustrates how this is done:
1. Open the front access cover
2. Press and HOLD the Cancel Button (Red X)
3. When you see the LED's 'Chase' turn the printer off
4. Close the access cover, and turn the printer back on
5. Press the Continue Button (Green Triangle) to print a settings report
6. Under the section 'Cartridge Information', locate the item 'PHOTOCONDUCTOR COUNT=0K' indicating 'Zero Thousands'.
s now been reset, and you should now be able to print normally.
