Thank you! I did just that, but I’m actually having another issue… The status badge ALWAYS says idle, even if it’s printing. Any troubleshooting steps?
Looking at my sensor history, it looks like it never changes for me either. Perhaps a fault with the, in my case, HP’s IPP?
Great solution. But my values always staying on the initial value.

The tracked entities are all fine and up to date with the current inkt levels.
Hi, I’m trying to implement the same layout (the four ink status on two rows), but unfortunately without results. Can you please help me by sharing the parts you modified to obtain it ?
Moreover, is there any way to “move” the card on the UI in order to place it in the center of the screen ? Because by default it extends itself from center towards the right of the screen. Thanks
hello, in your themes, we see a white text color. When I create my bar-card, my handwriting is black. As a result, we cannot read in the black and photo black cartridges. How do you get the text to be white? thank you
It worked!!. Thank you.
I had to change “unknown” to “unavailable” and then it already remembers the state of my toners once the printer is turned off.
Thanks this is working fine, one thing I want to change is the place of the white small rectangular with the colors on.
It seems that the color containers aren’t fully displayed I thinks it needs another 5 px to be compleet.
Where do I change the size of the 4 white rectangulars?
Hi,
I tried to implement your technique to keep the cartridge level when the printer is turned off but it does not work.
I installed the HACS Variable module, I put the code below in configuration.yaml
var:

{% if is_state('sensor.hp_color_laserjet_pro_mfp_4302_black_cartridge', 'unavailable') -%}
{{ (states('var.printer_black')) }}
{%- else -%}
{{ (states('sensor.hp_color_laserjet_pro_mfp_4302_black_cartridge')) }}
{%- endif %}
tracked_entity_id:

Thank you for your help.
Same problem here, did you find a solution?
When the printer is online you write the status or attribute to a helper. So when it gets offline you still have the value.
