NAME

       snmp - cups snmp backend

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/cups/backend/snmp ip-address-or-hostname
       /usr/libexec/cups/backend/snmp ip-address-or-hostname
       lpinfo -v --include-schemes snmp

DESCRIPTION

       The  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.

       In 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.  This can be used for programs that need to configure print queues where the user has supplied an address but nothing else.

       In  the second form, the SNMP backend is run indirectly using the lpinfo(8) command.  The output provides all printers detected via SNMP on
       the configured broadcast addresses.  Note: no broadcast addresses are configured by default.

ENVIRONMENT

       The DebugLevel value can be overridden using the CUPS_DEBUG_LEVEL environment variable.	The MaxRunTime value can be overridden	using  the
       CUPS_MAX_RUN_TIME environment variable.

FILES

       The  SNMP  backend  reads the /etc/cups/snmp.conf configuration file, if present, to set the default broadcast address, community name, and
       logging level.

CONFORMING TO

       The CUPS SNMP backend uses the information from the Host, Printer, and Port Monitor MIBs along with some vendor private MIBs  and  intelli-
       gent port probes to determine the correct device URI and make and model for each printer.
