Ricoh-Resource-Monitor

Build Status Github Release Github All Releases License: MIT

GUI to monitor ink and paper tray levels at work. Values are gathered using SNMP and displayed using TkInter.

All of the printers are networked with publicly available SNMP values. As long as the host machine is on the same network, this program grabs the values using generic OIDs and displays them in a nice TkInter window. OIDs used are as follows:

OID Value Method
Serial Number .1.3.6.1.2.1.43.5.1.1.17.1 Get
Printer Model .1.3.6.1.2.1.43.11.1.1.6 Get
Ink Names .1.3.6.1.2.1.43.11.1.1.6 Walk
Ink Levels .1.3.6.1.2.1.43.11.1.1.9.1 Walk
Tray Names .1.3.6.1.2.1.43.8.2.1.13 Walk
Current Tray Fill .1.3.6.1.2.1.43.8.2.1.10.1 Walk
Max Tray Fill .1.3.6.1.2.1.43.8.2.1.9.1 Walk
Printer Errors .1.3.6.1.2.1.43.18.1.1.8.1 Walk

You can add or remove a printer by going to File -> Edit Printer List

To add a printer, the Name, IP, and Default fields are required; the Serial and EID fields are not, so their spaces can be left blank, eg: 123.12.123.123,My Printer,,,True. The Default field determines whether the printer is loaded by default when launching the program.

Reset Field will return the printer list to its default state as of 5/6/21.

  • Printers will not report paper level changes unless they've been woken from Energy Saver Mode
  • Some trays are split into left- and right-hand compartments, but Ricoh reports their fill levels as one value
  • Log file may not be created in some locations unless RRM is launched as administrator

Thanks to takaakiaoki for their frozen Pmw.py module, which was needed to create the standalone .exe with pyinstaller.
