      Print off the logging SMC data and it'll give you the PM counter for all the items in there.
      It's 106 miles to Chicago. We've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.

      Hit it.

              The 'drum life counter' is only a guide anyway...they go until they don't produce good copies anymore, and need to be replaced- Sometimes way over the cycle, and sometimes way under.
              Not to mention, there are Developer, fuser and transfer belt,etc cycles too. And you have to replace them when they go -regardless of what the counters say
