Epson L4160 Ink Waste Resetter

This python script resets the ink waste counter of the printer Epson L4160. It uses Easy SNMP which might be tricky to install, therefore also is included a Dockerfile to build an image with all dependencies.

Note

This script only resets the waste ink counter for the Epson L4160. The OIDs are model-specific and won't work on other printers. For other models, check out epson_print_conf — it supports hundreds of Epson models, can auto-detect unknown printers, and has both a GUI and CLI. epson-printer-snmp is another lighter alternative with support for many models.

How to use it

To use this script the printer must be connected over Wi-Fi.
