epson_print_conf

Epson Printer Configuration tool via SNMP (TCP/IP)

Installation

git clone https://github.com/Ircama/epson_print_conf
pip3 install easysnmp
cd epson_print_conf

Usage

usage: epson_print_conf.py [-h] -m MODEL -a HOSTNAME [-i] [-q QUERY] [--reset_waste_ink] [--detect-key] [-d]
                           [-e DUMP_EEPROM DUMP_EEPROM] [--dry-run] [--write-first-ti-received-time FTRT FTRT FTRT]
                           [-R READ_EEPROM] [-W WRITE_EEPROM] [-S WS_TO_STRING]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -m MODEL, --model MODEL
                        Printer model. Example: -m XP-205 (use ? to print all supported models)
  -a HOSTNAME, --address HOSTNAME
                        Printer host name or IP address. (Example: -m 192.168.1.87)
  -i, --info            Print all available information and statistics (default option)
  -q QUERY, --query QUERY
                        Print specific information. (Use ? to list all available queries)
  --reset_waste_ink     Reset all waste ink levels to 0
  --detect-key          Detect the read_key via brute force
  -d, --debug           Print debug information
  -e DUMP_EEPROM DUMP_EEPROM, --eeprom-dump DUMP_EEPROM DUMP_EEPROM
                        Dump EEPROM (arguments: start, stop)
  --dry-run             Dry-run change operations
  --write-first-ti-received-time FTRT FTRT FTRT
                        Change the first TI received time (arguments: year, month, day)
  -R READ_EEPROM, --read-eeprom READ_EEPROM
                        Read the values of a list of printer EEPROM addreses. Format is: address [, ...]
  -W WRITE_EEPROM, --write-eeprom WRITE_EEPROM
                        Write related values to a list of printer EEPROM addresses. Format is: address: value [, ...]
  -S WS_TO_STRING, --write-sequence-to-string WS_TO_STRING
                        Convert write sequence of numbers to string.

Epson Printer Configuration accessed via SNMP (TCP/IP)

Examples:

# Print informations (-i is not needed):
python3 epson_print_conf.py -m XP-205 -a 192.168.1.87 -i

# Reset all waste ink levels to 0:
python3 epson_print_conf.py -m XP-205 -a 192.168.1.87 --reset_waste_ink

# Change the first TI received time to 31 December 2016:
python3 epson_print_conf.py -m XP-205 -a 192.168.1.87 --write-first-ti-received-time 2016 12 31

# Detect the read_key via brute force:
python3 epson_print_conf.py -m XP-205 -a 192.168.1.87 --detect-key

# Only print status information:
python3 epson_print_conf.py -m XP-205 -a 192.168.1.87 -q printer_status

# Only print SNMP 'MAC Address' name:
python3 epson_print_conf.py -m XP-205 -a 192.168.1.87 -q 'MAC Address'

# Only print SNMP 'Lang 5' name:
python3 epson_print_conf.py -m XP-205 -a 192.168.1.87 -q 'Lang 5'

# Write value 1 to the EEPROM address 173 and value 0xDE to the EEPROM address 172:
python3 epson_print_conf.py -m XP-205 -a 192.168.1.87 -W 173:1,172:0xde

# Read EEPROM address 173 and EEPROM address 172:
python3 epson_print_conf.py -m XP-205 -a 192.168.1.87 -R 173,172
