f3c17241 23.SH DESCRIPTION
3bd38497 24The \fBDEPRECATED\fR CUPS SNMP backend provides legacy discovery and identification of network printers using SNMPv1.
ce0ddeb2
MS
25When used for discovery through the scheduler, the backend will list all printers that respond to a broadcast SNMPv1 query with the "public" community name.
26Additional 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.
f3c17241 27.LP
ce0ddeb2
MS
28In 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.
29This can be used for programs that need to configure print queues where the user has supplied an address but nothing else.
f3c17241 30.LP
ce0ddeb2
MS
31In the second form, the SNMP backend is run indirectly using the
32.BR lpinfo (8)
33command.
34The output provides all printers detected via SNMP on the configured
35broadcast addresses.
36\fINote: no broadcast addresses are configured by default.\fR
37.SH ENVIRONMENT
38The DebugLevel value can be overridden using the CUPS_DEBUG_LEVEL environment variable.
39The MaxRunTime value can be overridden using the CUPS_MAX_RUN_TIME environment variable.
40.SH FILES
41The SNMP backend reads the \fI/etc/cups/snmp.conf\fR configuration file, if
f3c17241 42present, to set the default broadcast address, community name, and logging
ce0ddeb2 43level.
3bd38497
MS
44.SH NOTES
45The CUPS SNMP backend is deprecated and will no longer be supported in a future
46version of CUPS.
ce0ddeb2
MS
47.SH CONFORMING TO
48The 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.
