Reset counters for Brother Colour Laser Printer HL3070

This is not really a Storage or VM issue but it will useful to document it for future.  My laser printer complains it runs out of black toner.  I have reset the toner cartridge as mentioned in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0XplIuGhHo but that does not work. 

The following instructions are found in google by mizlang.   I never try the drum reset, but you can try.

Toner Reset Menu for Brother HL3070:
1. Open Cover where you access toner cartridges
2. Press CANCEL & SECURE PRINT buttons at one time and you'll see the toner menus on screen
3. Press + or - to navigate through to the toners you need to reset. Note that each toner has 2 entries here, and I'm not sure why. Would love to hear what each one does, if anyone knows.
4. I'm guessing that the OK button will be the actual reset of the toners, if not then the go button would be I guess, but I couldn't confirm this, since my toners didn't currently need reset.

I also found the reset menu for the durable parts counters:
1. Open cover where you access toners
2. Press GO and + button at once, you'll see menu come up displaying reset counters for drum, fuser, etc.

recently, it complains about empty colour toner cartridge. try the same steps for colour toner and it works too. it seems like it will report toner empty once it hits certain page limit instead of reporting the actual amount of toner left.
