    My HL-2280DW uses the same cartridge, but none of your steps work — in fact it has no GO button or LED’s.
    I’m sure there is something similar to get you to the hidden Reset menu, i.e. turn it on with certain buttons held down. But I need something that works for my HL-2280DW.

    Your article has been most helpful.
    Thank you!
    I saw a documentary which discovered that printer manufacturers have their printers set to print a certain amount of pages and then they show that the ink/toner is empty and needs to be replaced, when in fact they are not 100% empty.
