HP Printer Ink Levels

[hsepm (Holger)]

Does the HP printer management tool on Windows show the correct values?

I’m on a Mac but the web interface shows the correct values

[jg.balcombe (James Balcombe)]

Hi, theres a separate thread on this same topic. I found that for certain HP inkjet printers you can’t get to the ink levels via snmp. This may be the case for other models. You can however get to it via specific XML files (which the web interface uses).

Have a look at:

Hope that helps.

Thanks! That’s seems to be working fine

Thanks for the starting point, this also worked with my LaserJet M175nw… I also found some additional info like pages printed, pages remaining, drum life, printer status… it took some fooling around to find them so I figured maybe I could save someone else the trouble… thanks guys!

## I didn't get a chance to see what the different states were for the mode/status,
## seems power_mode will tell you if in sleep/awake or low-power mode, etc and 
## printer_status_2 will just give a Ready state even when sleeping which seems to 
## make more sense.. you will have to see which works best for you..
## I think status_2 will tell you if needs paper etc, but didn't look that far into it yet...

How did you do the nice toner graphic?

What card are you using to create this printer graphics?

Custom Component for printer ink levels

I really liked the idea of your custom component, but as I use hassio I dont think it will work since ink needs to be installed in the homeassistant docker container. So instead I took the approach to create a hassio addon that will run ink periodically, parse the output into JSON and sent it to HA via MQTT. Its very much a hack job (esp the shell script that calls ink and mosquitto client for MQTT) but it works great for my Canon Pixma 5300, and supports HA MQTT autodiscovery - albeit in a ve…
