Here at our site we have several Kyocera F series laser printers, some
of which are newer than others.  On the older models we were able to
continue printing after the "Replace drum kit" message while on the 
newer models printing stopped as soon as the message appeared.  After
checking with our service vendor, we found that there was a firmware
upgrade on the newer models that halts printing when the message 
appears.  This was confirmed recently when one of our older models
had its firmware upgraded.  Two days later the dreaded message
appeared and printing stopped!  However our service tech was able to
come out and set a switch (whether hardware or software not known)
and we were (and are) able to print again until a replacement drum kit
comes in.

Hope that helps out!

Larry
