+After research on the web, I discovered that although there were projects supporting older models
+nothing was existing for newer models.

+It was designed by reverse engineering the integrated administration webserver following the

 # How to use it ?
 
-To obtain a CSR:
-```
+After playing a lot with the administration web server, I discover a reproducible way to convince
+the printer to accept a Let's Encrypt certificate.
+First you need to ask a CSR generated by the printer:
+```bash
 ./refresh-certificate.py  -c ./config.ini -n -p PASSWORD csr
 ```
+This way the private key part of the certificate is only known by the printer.
+I was not able to import the private key of a Let's Encrypt certificate as obtained when generating
+the certificate directly from ACME.
 
-To obtain a PEM certificate from Let's encrypt:
+Next you need to ask Let's Encrypt to sign the CSR:
 ```
 certbot certonly --webroot -w /var/www/letsencrypt/ --csr printer.csr
 ```
 
-To install the PEM file on the printer:
+You should obtain three PEM files in response:
+
+1. _cert.pem_: the certificate itself (PEM format)
+2. _chain.pem_: the intermediate CA that signed the certificate (PEM format)
+3. _fullchain.pem_: the two previous files concatenated.
+
+Finally you can install the certificate PEM file on the printer:
 ```
-./refresh-certificate.py  -c ./config.ini -n -p PASSWORD pem 
+./refresh-certificate.py  -c ./config.ini -n -p PASSWORD pem -i fullchain.pem
 ```
 
+Please note that during the last step, you can add either the _cert.pem_ file or 
+the _fullchain.pem_ files. In both cases, you should be able to connect to the printer webserver
+without warning message from your navigator (tested on Firefox and Chromium).
+This is possible because the main navigators comes with a certificates store that contains
+not only the root certificate of Let's Encrypt but also the intermediate certificates.
+However, note that most others tools will fail to connect to the Web server of the printer
+(including this tool) because the printer will only present the final certificate.
+You really have to install the _fullchain.pem_ to remove TLS connexion errors from all tools.
