Dell printer problem
newshound
comp.periphs.printers produced nothing helpful.
I've just notionally run out of toner for the first time on a 1320c laser,
and it's locked up. Within the toolbox software there is a "Use Non-Dell
Cartridge" setting which bypasses the chip, but it insists on a four digit
"password" before accepting any changes. I'm pretty confident I never set
one up (and I've tried my standard PINs).
Anyone know if there is a default code? Have also just emailed Dell Tech
Support
TIA

Thanks; curiously enough, I found stuff somewhere in a manual talking about
default ID and Password being admin, admin, and at one time I was prompted
for ID and password, and these two failed. However after doing a full
reinstall, at the moment the Password window that I get only has one field,
and it will only accept four digits: it rejects any character.
But thanks for the suggestion, I will try your two if I get the two field
box again.

I can't remeber the context now but some six months or so ago I had a
similar problem with a customers printer (can't remember the make) and
he also could not remember ever creating a 'password'. After some
research I spoke to someone who would provide basic support and he/she
suggested 0 0 0 0 ie 4 zeros
Worked like a charm!
Lets hope it does the same for you.

Sadly, I tried four zeros and it just laughed at me (still waiting for email
from Dell Support)

suggested in your link, but the default password isn't any of the obvious
ones (0000, 1234, 1320, etc)
