PySyncThru 0.7.7

Automated JSON API based communication with Samsung SyncThru Web Service

PySyncThru - a very basic python SyncThru bridge

A package that connects to a Samsung printer in the local network that makes use of the SyncThru web service and provides data that is provided via the JSON API of the device. If the API cannot be reached (because on some printers it is not supported), it tries to parse other pages in the webinterface and extract information.

It is able to read the system, toner and tray status and provides method wrappers to access them. Overall, the following data is usually provided by the printers:

• Device / System status
• Drum / Toner status
• Model name
• Tray status

Sadly it seems like there is no official API, so fixes are welcome and likely needed!

Usage

import aiohttp
import asyncio
from pysyncthru import SyncThru

IP_PRINTER = '192.168.0.25'

async def main():
    async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
        printer = SyncThru(IP_PRINTER, session)
        await printer.update()

        # Is printer online?
        print("Printer online?:", printer.is_online())
        # Show the printer status
        print("Printer status:", printer.device_status())
        if printer.is_online():
            # Show details about the printer
            print("Printer model:", printer.model())
            # Get the details of a cartridge
            print("Toner Cyan details:", printer.toner_status()['cyan'])
            # Get the details about a tray
            print("Tray 1 Capacity:", printer.input_tray_status()[1]['capa'])
        # Print all available details from the printer
        print("All data:\n", printer.raw())
        
loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(main())
