It’s available in HACS, are you using it?
Pfff, my bad … Never looked for it there…
Will get it going, and let you know how things are progressing!
Many thanks for fast response. Stay safe!

Newbie here. Using HA, tried to pull from the Github but the addon doesn’t seems to appear. I went to Supervisor > Add-On Store > Add new repository br URL and pasted the previous link. Any idea of what I’m doing wrong?
Thanks in advance and great work!
This is a custom component not an addon, it’s available for installation via HACS, please look for HP Printer and install it

Did you changed this code after the update of bar-card to 3.0.0 ?
I have a huge headache trying it and unsuccesully… If you already changed it can you PLEASE share the code?
@Maurizio, you can take look at my code for SNMP printer monitoring for inspiration; I just updated it to use new bar-card 3.0.0.

Does it work with HP Photosmart C309A?
details of how to check it available in the documentation
in case you have width defintion, please remove it and it will work
I was surprised to see when I upgraded to 0.108 that my HP DeskJet 3630 was discovered by the new Internet Printing Protocol integration and provides the same sensors as this custom component apart from 1) The number of pages scanned and 2) The status binary sensor.
Considering I have the pretty heavy weight HACS installed only for this custom component, I’ve gone with this new native printer integration and uninstalled HACS/this custom component.
That’s not to take away from the great work done on this, and I’m not sure how compatible the new integration is with various HP printers.
If anyone does the same, be sure to remove “HP Printers” from the integrations page first, then uninstall the HP Printers HACS extension. If it’s done the other way around “HP Printers” on the integrations page can’t be removed.
Thanks for this update,
I don’t see a reason to continue maintaining that custom component,
I will leave it here in case anyone wants to use it.
IPP is a standard so it’s much better than the integration I’ve done with specific API cover printers supports that API.
Regarding the lack of number of pages scanned, printed and cancelled - I will check if I can extend it and do a pull request.

My printer also showed up after moving to 0.108, HP 3545.
Since I use only the Ink Level feature for my home printing purpose, the IP Printer integration does the job.
@bar : Many thanks for all the work and developing this so far.
@Alec : appreciate the heads up on the removal sequence 
Worked for me like you described.

Hi,
I am a newbie and this is component seems very helpful to get higher WAF 
I am a little lost in how to handle the Github Download
ha-hpprinter-master.zip file.
I have already one custom component installed and running in the ‘custom_components’ folder.
I copied the ‘hpp_printer’ folder to
\\192.168.1.70\config\custom_components
But what to do with the files: hacs.json etc?
After a restart (without copying the single files), my HA system discovered the HP Printer 6970 (Desktop/Scanner) as before … this offers only access to ink filling state.
What do I need to do for access to i.e. printed pages etc.
Best regards,
Joerg
After 2 weeks with IPP integration I realized it’s working for me much better that component than the official-generic-one.
2 main issues that made me realize it:
- When printer is off or in power saving mode, there are lots of error messages in log
- No support for scanner and lack of details available in this component
I also worked a bit on the component and released new version with the following changes:
Implemented enhancements:
- Added changelog
- Added ability to configure update entities interval in seconds (Integrations -> Integration Name -> Options) #31
- Added validation to add new integration, display error in case printer is unreachable or unsupported #15 #11
- Moved code to new file structure
- More logs added for easier debugging
- Removed service
hpprinter.save_debug_data - Added option to store debug files from Integration UI -> Option (more details in README)
Fixed bugs:

I did some digging, and it looks like this logging is happening for the following line of code…
I have the same issue with my Laser Jet Pro M118DW which is a monochrome printer. There was a code change around that line for this issue:
Am wondering if this gets resolved with this commit.
Hi,
I tried to include the code of @Johann_Edelmuller (Thanks for that code!)
at a new Manual Card via the Lovelace UI. (Before I had to figure out, how to include those custom-cards used 
- took me some time.
My sensor states are available.
But the last sensor values are not included in the markdown.
Maybe someone here has any idea, whats wrong.
Here is the Manual Card Code:

A general question…
Has the filling level been below 20% at any time?
My black seems to be now at 20% for 14 days…(2 Home offices and 1 Homeschooling victim).
These figures are always in 10% steps?
What is your experience?

Just installed v109.0 and get this in the log:
hpprinter: the '.translations' directory has been moved, the new name is 'translations', starting with Home Assistant 0.111 your translations will no longer load if you do not move/rename this
Please install from HACS or copy to hp_printer just the content of custom_components/hp_printer into it
