brother HL-5250DN: Reset Fuser counter

Today a fuser unit for a brother HL-5250DN should be replaced.
The fuser replacemant was easy but the counter reset was a little bit of a nightmare.

Here are the steps how I was able to reset the fuser counter.

  1. Download brmainte.zip and unzip the file
  2. Disconnect the LAN cable and attach a USB cable
  3. Start the application
  4. Set the printer to HL-5250DN and read the informations.
    Note: The screenshot was taken after resetting the counter. 
  5. Reset the counter
  6. Recheck the values
  7. Close the application
  8. Disconnect the USB cable and reconnect the LAN cable
  9. Recheck the values on the webinterface

Done, no fuser replacement for the next 100.000 pages 🙂
