command_line sensor is a great idea!!
What if I need to login into a website? I need to use it for my netro sprinkler @nalipaz
Works fine here colors and all:
I checked this morning again after restarting my PC, the colors are back! Very strange…
I can’t get the padding to work with the newest bar-card. How did you fix this?
Check out my card -

I know it works on the latest 109 release

Hi, Can you help me and explain how to setup MQTT?
I have also Canon printer so if you can share your setup I will be grateful.
Hi, Can you help me and explain how to setup MQTT?
Sorry no, I’m not using MQTT. I’m using SNMP to get my printer levels.
Sorry for not getting back to you before. I am not using MQTT. I am using Brother Printers HA integration
Has no one else tried the IPP integration? Seems to work well for my Cannon.
Appreciate you all sharing your code. Did a copy paste and enhanced it with a conditional card, so the ink-card is not displayed when the printer is shut off.

Hello Tomahawk, I do have Canon MF724cdw, tried to use IPP integration and failed connecting to the printer using IP address - what integration do you use?
thanks in advance for help
I used the IPP integration.
The printer is connected with a LAN cable. And the printers IP address is reserver at the router so it have a “fixed” ip-address. Hope it helps.
Thanks, this explains and helps in confirming that it does work for you.
When I tried, IPP integration did not want to connect to my printer (using IP address). Few factors are on the way (self-signed cert used, maybe also the subnet mask) I may want to diagnose, but with your comment I know I should not give-up too easy. In my case printer uses WiFi, what might be an additional factor, but I don’t have any issues with printing the materials from my phone (also over wifi). Magement interface is available but I don’t like page-scrapping techniques having IPP or SNMP.
I will go your route digging harder 
You might try the ink2mqtt-addon from this repository: https://github.com/james-fry/hassio-addons. That one should work for Canon-printers.
This one requires the Mosquitto Broker addon to present.
Thank you, issue here is to force the printer “talking” any way, so far it responds only to https management portal. Obviously to printing requests too
I will give it a try.
Hello, I used your code and it works perfectly fine. Visually I would like to customize the boxes because the box “Canon Printer idle” looks a little lost. How and where can I do that? Which template do I need to edit?

Hi, could I use this for printer connected via usb?
Or is this only for networked printers
