The DEPRECATED CUPS SNMP backend provides legacy discovery and
identification of network printers using SNMPv1. When used for
discovery through the scheduler, the backend will list all
printers that respond to a broadcast SNMPv1 query with the
"public" community name. Additional queries are then sent to
printers that respond in order to determine the correct device
URI, make and model, and other information needed for printing.
In the first form, the SNMP backend is run directly by the user
to look up the device URI and other information when you have an
IP address or hostname. This can be used for programs that need
to configure print queues where the user has supplied an address
but nothing else.
In the second form, the SNMP backend is run indirectly using the
lpinfo(8) command. The output provides all printers detected via
SNMP on the configured broadcast addresses. Note: no broadcast
addresses are configured by default.
The DebugLevel value can be overridden using the CUPS_DEBUG_LEVEL
environment variable. The MaxRunTime value can be overridden
using the CUPS_MAX_RUN_TIME environment variable.
The SNMP backend reads the /etc/cups/snmp.conf configuration
file, if present, to set the default broadcast address, community
name, and logging level.
The CUPS SNMP backend is deprecated and will no longer be
supported in a future version of CUPS.
The CUPS SNMP backend uses the information from the Host,
Printer, and Port Monitor MIBs along with some vendor private
MIBs and intelligent port probes to determine the correct device
URI and make and model for each printer.
