Both the Error light and the toner low light are flashing in sync with each other. Please advise on the error and how to correct.
I was able to reset the drum counter using your instructions and print a test page with the 'Continue' button, so I know that the printer is functioning but my system still tells me that I have an "Unknown Toner Level" when I try to print a document and will not print. Is there a fix for this?
Ya!!! It was very hepfull. Thanks a lot.
Reset the
photoconductor (PC) drum counter on the Dell™ 1700(n) printer.
To reset the
photoconductor (PC) drum counter, perform the following steps:
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.
NOTE:
This is the
option for resetting the drum counter.
7.
8.
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.
9.
Cycle the power
on the printer.
10.
When the
printer is ready, press the Continue button once to print a settings page.
11.
Under the
heading Cartridge
Information,
verify the Photoconductor
value
is 0K (zero-K).
Leave the printer on. Open the front and hold down the cancel button until all the lights are flashing in sequence. Close the front while still holding the cancel with the lights flashing and then release the cancel button. This should reset it.
Toss it out. That printer is a piece of junk. I have 4 fairly new 1700's and they all just about crapped out.

Try removing the toner cartridge and putting it back in place.
Try also unplugging power cord for ten minutes, and check if this clears error message.
Inspect the printer for foreign objects, or paper stuck inside.
If this does not work, it is a faulty drum.
