Then run the executable file created in the *dist/* folder, which has the same options of `ui.py`.
An alternative way to create the executable file from *ui.py* without using *epson_print_conf.spec* is the following:
```bash
pyinstaller --onefile ui.py --name epson_print_conf --hidden-import babel.numbers --windowed
```
A file named *gui.py* is also included (similar to *ui.py*), which automatically loads a previously created configuration file that has to be named *printer_conf.pickle*, merging it with the program configuration. (See below the *parse_devices.py* utility.) To build the executable program with this file instead of the default *ui.py*, run the following command:
It is also possible to automatically load a previously created configuration file that has to be named *epson_print_conf.pickle*, merging it with the program configuration. (See below the *parse_devices.py* utility.) To build the executable program with this file, run the following command:

When the build operation is completed, you can run the executable program created in the *dist/* folder. It does not have options, embeds the *printer_conf.pickle* file and starts with the default IP address and printer model defined in the build phase.
This repository includes a Windows *epson_print_conf.exe* executable file which is automatically generated by a [GitHub Action](.github/workflows/build.yml). It is packaged in a ZIP file named *epson_print_conf.zip* and uploaded into the [Releases](https://github.com/Ircama/epson_print_conf/releases/latest) folder.

As mentioned in the [documentation](https://pyinstaller.org/en/stable/), PyInstaller supports Windows, MacOS X, Linux and other UNIX Operating Systems. It creates an executable file which is only compatible with the operating system that is used to build the asset.

The output is better formatted when also installing [black](https://pypi.org/project/black/).
The program does not provide *printer_head_id* and *Power off timer*.
### find_printers.py
*find_printers.py* can be executed via `python find_printers.py` and prints the list of the discovered printers to the standard output. It is internally used as a library by *ui.py*.
