# brother

Python wrapper for getting data from Brother laser and inkjet printers via snmp

## How to use package

```py

import asyncio

import logging

from sys import argv

import pysnmp.hlapi.asyncio as hlapi

from brother import Brother, SnmpError, UnsupportedModelError

# printer IP address/hostname

HOST = "brother"

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

async def main():

    host = argv[1] if len(argv) > 1 else HOST

    printer_type = argv[2] if len(argv) > 2 else "laser"

    # argument printer_type: laser - for laser printer

    #                        ink   - for inkjet printer

    external_snmp = False

    if len(argv) > 3 and argv[3] == "use_external_snmp":

        external_snmp = True

    if external_snmp:

        print("Using external SNMP engine")

        snmp_engine = hlapi.SnmpEngine()

    else:

        snmp_engine = None

    try:

        brother = await Brother.create(

            host, printer_type=printer_type, snmp_engine=snmp_engine

        )

        data = await brother.async_update()

    except (ConnectionError, SnmpError, UnsupportedModelError) as error:

        print(f"{error}")

        return

    brother.shutdown()

    print(f"Model: {brother.model}")

    print(f"Firmware: {brother.firmware}")

    if data:

        print(f"Status: {data.status}")

        print(f"Serial no: {data.serial}")

        print(f"Sensors data: {data}")

loop = asyncio.new_event_loop()

loop.run_until_complete(main())

loop.close()
