NAME

6       snmp - cups snmp backend (deprecated)
7

SYNOPSIS

9       /usr/lib/cups/backend/snmp ip-address-or-hostname
10       /usr/libexec/cups/backend/snmp ip-address-or-hostname
11       lpinfo -v --include-schemes snmp

DESCRIPTION

14       The  DEPRECATED CUPS SNMP backend provides legacy discovery and identi‐
15       fication of network printers using SNMPv1.   When  used  for  discovery
16       through  the scheduler, the backend will list all printers that respond
17       to a broadcast SNMPv1 query with the "public"  community  name.   Addi‐
18       tional  queries  are then sent to printers that respond in order to de‐
19       termine the correct device URI, make and model, and  other  information
20       needed for 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

NOTES

43       The  CUPS SNMP backend is deprecated and will no longer be supported in
44       a future version of CUPS.
45

CONFORMING TO

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