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.

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.
sometimes happen that drum comes to be demaged, when you have the possibility than try to replace with know good one, when not and when you have waranty, than call dell bcs. of replace drum
I have Dell 3100 cn and need to replace the cartridges. I cannot take the old cartridge out. I have done in the past and remember seeing the message on the front little screen, eject the cartridge. this time the menu button is not communicating.
