  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.
  31 <p>In the second form, the SNMP backend is run indirectly using the <i>lpinfo(8)</i>
  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>
  40 The SNMP backend reads the /etc/cups/snmp.conf configuration file, if
  41 present, to set the default broadcast address, community name, and logging
  42 level. The configuration file is documented in <i>cups-snmp.conf(5)</i>. The
  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.
