Hi,

According to your problem, may be the drum is not usable now. But first clean the toner drum properly. May be this may occurs for setting of the drum in printer. So resets the drum carefully inside the printer after clean it. Then reboot the printer and the system both. If it doesn't solve your problem then change the toner. It may help you or you have to change the drum or cartridge.

Data mb-460 drum life

Yes,

That message indicates the drum is getting close to the end of life. The printer shows the message a bit before the end of life on the drum so you have time to order one before it goes out completely. You can get them from your office supply dealer or from Amazon.com

Drum error

With that error you need to remove the drum, run the little blue tab on top back and forth about 20 times, blow out the area below the blue tab, and re install and try printing again. If the error is drum life end you need to open the front door and press either menu or options, sometimes the clear/back button and tell it it's a new drum.

The scrren keeps saying c drum life, y drum life, m drum life and tray 1

The drum life errors refer to how much use is left on the printer ink cartridges. They're usually followed by a percentage. The tray 1 error might be a paper out error.
