Epson Printer Configuration tool via SNMP (TCP/IP)
- Access the Epson printer via SNMP (TCP/IP; printer connected over Wi-Fi)
- Print the advanced status of the printer, with the possibility to restrict the query to specific information
- Other inspection features:
- Read and write EEPROM addresses
- Dump a set of EEPROM addresses
- Reset ink waste
- Change power off timer
- Other admin stuffs and debug options
- Command line tool (no GUI)
- Python API interface
The software also provides a configurable printer dictionary, which can be easily extended.
git clone https://github.com/Ircama/epson_print_conf
pip3 install pyyaml
pip3 install pyasn1==0.4.8
pip3 install git+https://github.com/etingof/pysnmp.git
cd epson_print_conf
Notes (at the time of writing):
- before pysnmp, install pyasn1 with version 0.4.8 and not 0.5
- pull pysnmp from the GitHub master branch, not from PyPI
This program exploits pysnmp, with related documentation.
It is tested with Ubuntu / Windows Subsystem for Linux, Windows.

'-d' flag (instead of accessing the printer via SNMP)
--simdata SIMDATA_FILE
write SNMP dictionary map to simdata file
Epson Printer Configuration via SNMP (TCP/IP)
Examples:
# Print the status information (-i is not needed):
python3 epson_print_conf.py -m XP-205 -a 192.168.1.87 -i
# Reset all waste ink levels to 0:
python3 epson_print_conf.py -m XP-205 -a 192.168.1.87 --reset_waste_ink
# Change the first TI received time to 31 December 2016:
python3 epson_print_conf.py -m XP-205 -a 192.168.1.87 --write-first-ti-received-time 2016 12 31
# Change the power off timer to 15 minutes:
python3 epson_print_conf.py -a 192.168.1.87 -m XP-205 --write-poweroff-timer 15
# Detect the read_key via brute force:
python3 epson_print_conf.py -m XP-205 -a 192.168.1.87 --detect-key
# Only print status information:
python3 epson_print_conf.py -m XP-205 -a 192.168.1.87 -q printer_status
# Only print SNMP 'MAC Address' name:
python3 epson_print_conf.py -m XP-205 -a 192.168.1.87 -q 'MAC Address'
# Only print SNMP 'Lang 5' name:
python3 epson_print_conf.py -m XP-205 -a 192.168.1.87 -q 'Lang 5'
# Write value 1 to the EEPROM address 173 and value 0xDE to the EEPROM address 172:
python3 epson_print_conf.py -m XP-205 -a 192.168.1.87 -W 173:1,172:0xde
# Read EEPROM address 173 and EEPROM address 172:
python3 epson_print_conf.py -m XP-205 -a 192.168.1.87 -R 173,172Note: resetting the ink waste counter is just removing a warning; not replacing the tank will make the ink spill.
