16 .SH NAME
17 snmp.conf \- snmp configuration file for cups
18 .SH DESCRIPTION
19 The \fIsnmp.conf\fR file configures the CUPS SNMP printer
20 discovery backend and is normally located in the \fI/etc/cups\fR
21 directory. Each line in the file can be a configuration
22 directive, a blank line, or a comment. Comment lines start with
23 the # character.
24 .LP
25 The SNMP backend uses the SNMPv1 protocol to discover network
26 printers, collecting information from the Host MIB along with
27 intelligent port probes to determine the correct device URI and
28 make and model for each printer. Future versions of CUPS will
29 likely support the new Port Monitor MIB as well.
30 .SH DIRECTIVES
31 The following directives are understood by the SNMP backend.
