Popular Post nev104 Posted March 17, 2013 Popular Post Posted March 17, 2013 What do you guys think of this? It's a php script that uses cURL to connect to the printers web pages to get how much toner is left for each printer. 5
victory2012 Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 I think its fantastic been looking for something like that for ages? any chance of posting it?

ass17 Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Don't suppose you can query HP printers and Sharp MFP's? I'd be interested in it if so...

twin--turbo Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Slick... Toshiba MFD's Perhaps if you give instruction, people can do their own leg work and post their results back to build on the idea. Rob

bladedanny Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 I'd also be very interested in this. We have mostly Dell 3110cn but a few HP printers and konica bizhub c320 & c280.

nev104 Posted March 18, 2013 Author Posted March 18, 2013 Just out of interest about how many printers will people be using this for totally? For example we have about 40. Also will use lot want to be able to have printers under different section like I have? Using a config file, hard coded. Or would people prefure a MySQL backend to this or would use all like it to run with just php and no MySQL needed. Just wanting to know as at the moment most of it is hard coded. Thanks
clareq Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 We have about 90 printers, differnet sections would be great. Hard coded will be fine, as long as it's well commented so we can edit as printers change/get moved around.
victory2012 Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 We have about 40 printers, sections would be great. Hard coded is fine , like clareq said lond as its commented should be fine.. rather keep it simple than link to sql i think it looks great tho... so looking forward to seeing some code...
nev104 Posted March 18, 2013 Author Posted March 18, 2013 Do you guys know of any free or cheap hosting around here just I have an update function I will build into the script to bring all the latest goodies? Thanks for the clarification will knock it something up tomorrow
Liam Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 I like it I use Kyocera throughout.. Looks awesome just what I need..
markwilfan Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 hard coded or MySQL. Whatever is easiest for you. As clareq says, just comment it to allow easy editing. We have around 40 printers too, all of which have been mentioned. how about something like these guys Free Website Hosting Plans | 5GBFree.com haven't used free hosting so can't vouch for them. Most free hosting will be ad supported
