  18 The CUPS SNMP backend provides legacy discovery and identification of network
  19 printers using SNMPv1. When used for discovery through the scheduler, the
  20 backend will list all printers that respond to a broadcast SNMPv1 query with the
  21 "public" community name. Additional queries are then sent to printers that
  22 respond in order to determine the correct device URI, make and model, and other
  23 information needed for printing.
  24 <p>In the first form, the SNMP backend is run directly by the user to look up the
  25 device URI and other information when you have an IP address or hostname. This
  26 can be used for programs that need to configure print queues where the user has
  27 supplied an address but nothing else.
  28 <p>In the second form, the SNMP backend is run indirectly using the <a href='man-lpinfo.html?TOPIC=Man+Pages'>lpinfo(8)</a>
  29 command. The output provides all printers detected via SNMP on the configured
  30 broadcast addresses. <b>Note</b>: no broadcast addresses are configured by
  31 default.
  32 <h2 class="title"><a name="MIBS">Mibs</a></h2>
  33 The CUPS SNMP backend uses the information from the Host, Printer, and Port
  34 Monitor MIBs along with some vendor private MIBs and intelligent port probes to
  35 determine the correct device URI and make and model for each printer.
  36 <h2 class="title"><a name="CONFIGURATION">Configuration</a></h2>
  37 The SNMP backend reads the /private/etc/cups/snmp.conf configuration file, if
  38 present, to set the default broadcast address, community name, and logging
  39 level. The configuration file is documented in <a href='man-cups-snmp.conf.html?TOPIC=Man+Pages'>cups-snmp.conf(5)</a>. The
  40 DebugLevel value can be overridden using the CUPS_DEBUG_LEVEL environment
  41 variable and the MaxRunTime value can be overridden using the CUPS_MAX_RUN_TIME
  42 environment variable.
