replace drum 3100cn

I have only printed 5k pages on my dell 3100cn (have about 70%) left of all my original colors yet the printer wont print since it say replace drum. Unfortunately ive had this printer for over 1 year since i dont print a ton of stuff. A new drum is ridiculously expensive especially given how few pages ive printed. Is there a way to reset the drum so it will continue to print or do i have any leverage with dell since this is way below what they claim the printer's drum will do.

chris thanks for the reply

i understand how to install a new drum....i just find it ridiculous that i should have to do so after only 5k pages. There is no way this printer should be asking for a new drum at this point. If u can only get 5k worth of pages out of this printer/drum then it is the worst value of any color laser printer on the market.
