DESCRIPTION

14       The  CUPS  SNMP backend provides legacy discovery and identification of
15       network printers using SNMPv1.  When used  for  discovery  through  the
16       scheduler,  the backend will list all printers that respond to a broad‐
17       cast SNMPv1 query with the "public" community name.  Additional queries
18       are  then  sent to printers that respond in order to determine the cor‐
19       rect device URI, make and  model,  and  other  information  needed  for
20       printing.
21
22       In the first form, the SNMP backend is run directly by the user to look
23       up the device URI and other information when you have an IP address  or
24       hostname.   This  can be used for programs that need to configure print
25       queues where the user has supplied an address but nothing else.
26
27       In the second form, the  SNMP  backend  is  run  indirectly  using  the
28       lpinfo(8)  command.  The output provides all printers detected via SNMP
29       on the configured broadcast addresses.  Note:  no  broadcast  addresses
30       are configured by default.
31

ENVIRONMENT

33       The DebugLevel value can be overridden using the CUPS_DEBUG_LEVEL envi‐
34       ronment variable.  The MaxRunTime value can  be  overridden  using  the
35       CUPS_MAX_RUN_TIME environment variable.
36

FILES

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.
41

CONFORMING TO

43       The  CUPS SNMP backend uses the information from the Host, Printer, and
44       Port Monitor MIBs along with some vendor private MIBs  and  intelligent
45       port  probes to determine the correct device URI and make and model for
46       each printer.
