It it a selinium drum, or an OPC (steely blue gray metalic or plastic
looking surface?)

If it is anything like the Kyocera drum, there is a "fuse" in the assembly.
I'm not sure whether it is a counter, or just what it is.  I'd like to
tear one apart and see.  It might be something like one of the Dallas
Semiconductor e2rom parts.  In any case, it probably causes a contact
to short together, or else breaks a contact.  either way, it should be
possible to jumper around it.  One would have to sacrifice a spent
drum unit, and take some time, but I am certain it can be done.

I'd take a crack at it if I had a drum.
I hate companies trying to impose limits on people.
Especially if it is just to generate revenue.
