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!
