Need help with WorkCentre 7830 - Incompatible toner after supplies plan expired
Hello everyone,
First of all, I apologize if this topic has been covered before. I've searched through the forum but couldn't find a solution that exactly matches my situation.
My situation
I'm a student who was fortunate enough to acquire a WorkCentre 7830 from my school for a personal project. The machine was being decommissioned, and they allowed me to take it.
The printer was working fine initially, but now I'm facing an issue: the toners are still full, but suddenly they're showing as "incompatible" because the supplies plan has expired. I can see on the display that the plan has reached its end date.
What I have access to
I'm wondering if there's a way to reset or bypass this restriction so I can continue using the existing toners? I understand this is a common issue with these machines when they transition from a managed environment to personal use.
Has anyone successfully resolved this issue without having to purchase a supplies plan activation code? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance for your help!
Best regards,
Laurent

What I have access to
- I have admin access to both the web interface and the machine itself
- The printer is in good physical condition
- All toners show good levels but are now "incompatible"
