The cups sensor platform is using the open source printing system CUPS to show details about your printers.
To set up the sensor the "Queue Name" of the printer is needed. The fastest way to get it, is to visit the CUPS web interface at "http://[IP ADDRESS PRINT SERVER]:631" and go to "Printers".
To enable the CUPS sensor, add the following lines to your configuration.yaml:
# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
- platform: cups
printers:
- C410
- C430
{% configuration %} printers: description: List of printers to add. required: true type: list host: description: IP address of the CUPS print server. required: false type: string default: 127.0.0.1 port: description: Port of the CUPS print server. required: false type: int default: 631 {% endconfiguration %}
You will need to install the `python3-dev` or `python3-devel` and the development files for CUPS (`libcups2-dev` or`cups-devel`) package on your system manually (eg. `sudo apt-get install python3-dev libcups2-dev` or `sudo dnf -y install python3-devel cups-devel`) along with a compiler (`gcc`).
