1700n photoconductor

My printer hit the majic number of prints and has shut down. I changed the photoconductor with another brand new one and I still get the same message that the photoconductor needs to be replaced. Is there a reset switch or something that needs to be set?
thanks.

    The drum counter in the printer itself needs to be reset. Follow these instructions:

    1. Turn off the power using the switch on the back of the printer.
    2. Open the front door of the printer.
    3. Hold the Continue button down, power on the printer, continue to hold down the Continue button until just the Error LED is on solid, then release the Continue button.
    4. Close the front door. 
      The Continue button, Ready/Data, Toner Low, and Load Paper LEDs should all be lit.
    5. Wait for the printer to complete its POST process. 
      This is completed once the printer begins emitting a fan noise and the rollers start, then stop.
    6. Press the Cancel button four times slowly until the Toner Low LED is lit.
    7. Press and hold the Continue button until the LEDs all begin to rapidly cycle up / down in sequence, then release the Continue button.
      The Toner Low LED is the only one on.
    8. Cycle the power on the printer.
    9. When the printer is Ready, press the Continue button once to print a settings page.
    10. Under the heading Cartridge Information, verify the Photoconductor value is 0K (zero-K).
