Samsung Xpress SL-M2885FW Laser Multifunction printer. A message (and flashing light) tells me to 'Replace with new imaging unit.' But an imaging unit is meant to last for c. 50k pages and I've used only 4 laser cartridges = c. 12k. I therefore assume that the problem is not the imaging unit but an incorrect error message. Is that likely to be the case? And, if so, how do I override the error message?

The drum can print 9k pages, not 50k.

Thanks. I'd clearly misread something about 50k. At 9k that means that the computer consumables are much more expensive than I'd expected. The last decade has seen a trend to cheap printers and expensive consumables. It's a viable business model, I suppose. A bit like razors....
