SYNOPSIS

10       lpinfo -v --include-schemes snmp

DESCRIPTION

13       The  CUPS  SNMP backend provides legacy discovery and identification of
14       network printers using SNMPv1. When  used  for  discovery  through  the
15       scheduler,  the backend will list all printers that respond to a broad‐
16       cast SNMPv1 query with the "public" community name. Additional  queries
17       are  then  sent to printers that respond in order to determine the cor‐
18       rect device URI, make and  model,  and  other  information  needed  for
19       printing.
20
21       In the first form, the SNMP backend is run directly by the user to look
22       up the device URI and other information when you have an IP address  or
23       hostname.  This  can  be used for programs that need to configure print
24       queues where the user has supplied an address but nothing else.
25
26       In the second form, the  SNMP  backend  is  run  indirectly  using  the
27       lpinfo(8)  command.  The output provides all printers detected via SNMP
28       on the configured broadcast addresses. Note: no broadcast addresses are
29       configured by default.

MIBS

32       The  CUPS SNMP backend uses the information from the Host, Printer, and
33       Port Monitor MIBs along with some vendor private MIBs  and  intelligent
34       port  probes to determine the correct device URI and make and model for
35       each printer.
36

CONFIGURATION

38       The SNMP backend reads the /etc/cups/snmp.conf configuration  file,  if
39       present, to set the default broadcast address, community name, and log‐
40       ging level. The configuration file is documented in  cups-snmp.conf(5).
41       The DebugLevel value can be overridden using the CUPS_DEBUG_LEVEL envi‐
42       ronment variable and the MaxRunTime value can be overridden  using  the
43       CUPS_MAX_RUN_TIME environment variable.
