Whenever my organization hires or fires someone, I have to go into each of our 5 printers and add/remove the user. This is often the step I forget to do, and it's definitely the one I like the least.
So I've written a python wrapper for dealing with these machines from Hell.
This works on the following models:
- Ricoh Aficio MP 6002
- Ricoh MP C6502
- Ricoh Aficio MP 9002
git clone https://github.com/WTFox/printers.git
cd printers
python setup.py installfrom printers import Ricoh
printer_conn = dict(
host='10.10.2.13',
username='admin',
password=''
)
# Access via context manager so that all connections are closed automatically.
with Ricoh(**printer_conn) as ricoh:
print(repr(ricoh))
# <Ricoh(10.10.2.8)> at 51441168
print(ricoh)
# There are 94 users in 10.10.2.8
print(len(ricoh))
# 94
for user in ricoh:
print(user.id, user.name)
# 1 John Doe
# 2 Billy Bob
# 3 ...
# add a user
r.add_user(userid='jean', name='James Dean', displayName='James D', email='[email protected]')
# delete user (by id)
r.delete_user(138) Even though I've tested this thoroughly, I'm not responsible for any damage it may cause to your fickle, weak-blooded hounds of hell printers.
