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> | |
ad29aeab | 37 | The SNMP backend reads the /private/etc/cups/snmp.conf configuration file, if |
94436c5a MS |
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. | |
