21 | The CUPS SNMP backend provides legacy discovery and identification of network |
| 22 | printers using SNMPv1. When used for discovery through the scheduler, the | |
| 23 | backend will list all printers that respond to a broadcast SNMPv1 query with the | |
| 24 | "public" community name. Additional queries are then sent to printers that | |
| 25 | respond in order to determine the correct device URI, make and model, and other | |
| 26 | information needed for printing. | |
| 27 | <p>In the first form, the SNMP backend is run directly by the user to look up the | |
| 28 | device URI and other information when you have an IP address or hostname. This | |
| 29 | can be used for programs that need to configure print queues where the user has | |
| 30 | supplied an address but nothing else. | |
| c277f98c | 31 | <p>In the second form, the SNMP backend is run indirectly using the <i>lpinfo(8)</i> |
| 94436c5a MS |
32 | command. The output provides all printers detected via SNMP on the configured |
| 33 | broadcast addresses. <b>Note</b>: no broadcast addresses are configured by | |
| 34 | default. | |
| 35 | <h2 class="title"><a name="MIBS">Mibs</a></h2> | |
| 36 | The CUPS SNMP backend uses the information from the Host, Printer, and Port | |
| 37 | Monitor MIBs along with some vendor private MIBs and intelligent port probes to | |
| 38 | determine the correct device URI and make and model for each printer. | |
| 39 | <h2 class="title"><a name="CONFIGURATION">Configuration</a></h2> | |
| ffa2ca90 | 40 | The SNMP backend reads the /etc/cups/snmp.conf configuration file, if |
| 94436c5a | 41 | present, to set the default broadcast address, community name, and logging |
| c277f98c | 42 | level. The configuration file is documented in <i>cups-snmp.conf(5)</i>. The |
| 94436c5a MS |
43 | DebugLevel value can be overridden using the CUPS_DEBUG_LEVEL environment |
| 44 | variable and the MaxRunTime value can be overridden using the CUPS_MAX_RUN_TIME | |
| 45 | environment variable. | |
