Telegram-integration to get a notification after a customizable number of prints. Helpful in "party mode" to be able to change the printer ribbon and paper pro-actively.

Feature needs internet connection. Internet connection is not a planned feature.

OK, thats really a problem. Another idea: install a small status LED on top of the box which lights yellow if it's near the threshold and red if it's only one or two prints away from it.

Check printer messages (paper empty / ink empty) shall be polled and displayed on the display.

Checking for paper/ink status requires more reverse engineering of printer protocol
