How can I override "Stop mode" printer state on Brother HL-1110?

Question 1

My LED is blinking in way matching documentation at https://support.brother.com/g/b/faqend.aspx?c=nz&lang=en&prod=hl1110_us_eu_as&faqid=faq00000065_063

Note that it is NOT about case where both green and orange light is present ("Ready and Error LEDs are lit").

I already used continue mode to override printer demands to throw away working toner.

Now only error led (orange) is blinking, green one is not lit.

Now it again demands to throw away working toner. How can I override its nonsense demands? Is it saving usage count on the toner cartridge? Or can I confuse it by swapping new one and then again using "depleted" one?

I am using Linux, Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS (or Lubuntu to be more specific)

https://support.brother.ca/app/answers/detail/a_id/103191/~/how-do-i-clear-the-message-toner-ended%3F was useless, as it tells me to throw away working toner (strictly speaking, not working right now - but only due to some weird DRM-like evil thing)

Question 2

Googled this: brother hl-1110 reset toner to find the below methods. I do not have this printer so can't test this, proceed at your own risk.

Method 1

Service manual (pg4-7, PDF pg89) detailing how to do it:

6.RESETTING TONER MANUALLY

This function allows you to manually perform the same operation as when the toner cartridgeis replaced with a new one. This function provides a method to deactivate the following errors: when a new toner cartridge cannot be detected, and the toner life cannot be reset.

Check that the power switch is turned OFF. Press and hold the power button and check that the Ready and Error LEDs are lit. Then open the top cover and check that the Error LED goes out and only the Ready LED is lit.
Take out the drum unit and check that the Error LED is lit. Check that the Ready and Error LEDs are lit and release the power button. Check that all LEDs go out.
Set the drum unit and close the top cover.
