Canon 8170 8180 printer prepare new drum message

I have both an 8170c and 8180c ImageClass printer/multifunction unit and would like to override the "prepare new drum" message if possible... Considering that the drum costs half as much as the new printer, and the message comes up every 3-4 months, I'd like to be able to use the drum unit until there is actually some degradation in image quality thanks Mike in Port Dover

Sorry Daniyal, I don't understand...

What did you mean to say about a "chip"?

I realize that the image drum and toner cartridges
contain an electronic chip that contains data on
how many times the unit has been used

What I am wondering is: is there a "reset" function that allows a technician to clear the
memory of the chip so that the printer can continue to operate beyond the set number of
copies that is programmed into the drum unit?

I have the same message on my MF8180C to "Prepare New Drum ". I to would like to decide when to replace it not them. Last week it forced me to replace my black cartridge. It would not let me print until I did replace it. There was no problem with the print quality. Has anyone had success with defeating this to continue on?
Thanks

You have to paste a piece of paper on the sensors that looks like 2 blocks (i used the sticky side of a post it note). that will fool the printer and get rid of the prompt

I tried pasting the sticky on the sensors and it did get rid of the drum prompt, but now it won't print at all and I get a message saying "check printer". The print quality is still excellent. Any ideas??

OKI C822 is showing an error 461 every time I start printing but it disappears after maybe 30 seconds and then prints automatically. Paper dimensions and stock are the same as in the settings and I get the error for a few years now so turining it on and off do not help.
