+The \fBDEPRECATED\fR CUPS SNMP backend provides legacy discovery and identification of network printers using SNMPv1.
 When used for discovery through the scheduler, the backend will list all printers that respond to a broadcast SNMPv1 query with the "public" community name.
 Additional 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.
