Add user interface

[sshsphere]

The main focus of this PR is to add an optional user interface for using epson_print_conf as discussed here. So far it only supports the most basic functions (getting printer information and resetting waste ink levels).

Description of changes:

• Create a GUI with tkinter
• Add an autodiscovery script which finds printer ips and their model names
• Fix pysnmp for newer python versions (there were imports that no longer worked in python 3.12, i also added a requirements.txt file so its easier to install all the required packages)
• Add L386 printer (that's the printer i have at home and used for testing)

Build guide

1. Install pyinstaller if not already installed with pip install pyinstaller
2. Run: pyinstaller --onefile --noconsole ui.py
3. Run exe in dist/ folder

Future

• In the future, I feel like it would be better if the printer_config dictionary was seperated into seperate file. That would mean you wouldn't have to rebuild the exe every time you would need to change it. I thought about copying the dict into a seperate .txt file and then running eval() but that seemed like a bad idea.
• Most other features should probably be added in a seperate "Advanced" tab behind a warning
• Maybe add an about tab with version number, changelogs, link back to the repo, etc.?
• Add automatic model selection from the autodetect information. If I understand correctly in reinkpy it uses the “MDL” device_id attribute from SNMP to match against the “short” names in the WICReset database. For my printer “Epson Model” and “Model short” in snmp_info also matches to the “model” names in WICReset. I do not know if these methods work 100% of the time, so I didn’t implement this feature now.
  • Add an icon for the .exe :)

Ok, I removed the draft status. I am going on a trip soon and won't be available for 2-3 weeks, you can continue adding the rest of the missing features if you want

Merged, thanks

Thx, you should probably add the built exe in the releases page in github

The GUI program can be simply run via python ui.py.

There is also a fully documented build procedure so that one can autonomously create the executable program via pyinstaller.

In addition, there is a GitHub Action now, that automatically builds the executable to the Tags page. Anyway, my antivirus removes the downloaded file after detecting a Trojan (possibly a false positive because GitHub fully manages such workflow and appears to appropriately perform the build with valid and updated prerequisites). This problem is mentioned in the pyinstaller repository. If one does not trust such mode, the alternative of using python ui.py is always valid. I have no intention of investigating this further as my aim was to develop a technical tool and not an easy-to-run program.

Following the note to avoid windowed mode in the pyinstaller doc, now the code is generated enabling console mode and hiding the related window. The result is an annoying black console window at the start of the program (which might or might not become hidden), but this way is more robust to antivirus false positives.
